    Abstract:
    The authors present a case of a woman with intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the corpus uteri. Such a case was not able to be found in the literature. A 54 year-old woman complained of right upper extremity weakness and headache. CT scan showed abnormality, and removal of a brain tumor was performed. After that, total hysterectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and chemotherapy was carried out. Three months later, she suddenly experienced bilateral weakness in her lower extremities. After a few days she was unable to walk. Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI showed an abnormal mass at the upper part of the conus medullaris. Total removal of the intramedullary tumor was performed and adenocarcinoma was diagnosed histopathologically.
