ABSTRACT
Spinal cord compression is a potentially devastating consequence of cancer. Early recognition of the signs and symptoms permit diagnosis prior to the development of irreversible neurological damage. This complication occurs in 5% to 10% of patients with malignancy, often at the end stages of the patient's illness; however, it can be the presenting manifestation of malignancy in up to 23% of patients. With the advances in surgical, radiation, and medical oncology approaches, the outcomes of patients with malignant spinal cord compression continue to improve. We discuss the case of a previously healthy man, aged 65 years, who presented with back pain and large T8 spinal mass, leading to a diagnosis of multiple myeloma with spinal cord compromise.
