  • Prostate cancer is associated with vertebral metastasis in up to 10% ofpatients; however, intradural spinal cord metastases (ISCM) are much lessfrequent. We present the clinical and histopathological findings of apatient with ISCM arising from prostate. A PubMed literature search for ISCMfrom the prostate yielded a total of nine additional cases. ISCM of theprostate occurs at a late stage of systemic disease and the prognosis isgenerally poor. Decompressive surgery followed by adjuvant radiation therapymay help reduce intractable pain and stabilize neurological symptoms,thereby improving quality of life.
