Abstract

One patient with metastatic spinal tumors from colorectal cancer experienced malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC). Determining the extent of the lesion using magnetic resonance imaging is essential, even if the lesion is osteoblastic. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the risk of MSCC in patients with metastatic spinal tumors.

Keywords: colorectal carcinoma; malignant spinal cord compression; metastatic lesion; osteoblastic type.
