ABSTRACT
Two clinico-pathological cases of necrotic myelopathies with a distant malignancy are presented. The first patient had histiocytic medullary reticulosis and the second one had a renal cell carcinoma. The authors referred to other similar cases found in the literature. In both patients the pathological features in the spinal cord were similar to the other cases reported, but in their first case they found an intense inflammatory reaction and hyperplasia of astrocytes into bizarre giant forms. The cause of necrotizing myelopathy associated with neoplasms remain unknown. The authors think that the presence of inflammatory reaction and the changes in the astrocytes in their first case are consistent with the effects of a virus.
