Abstract
Chest CT images were acquired in a 79-year-old man to evaluate a right lung mass revealed by chest radiography. The image findings suggested possible pulmonary malignancy. FDG PET/CT was performed for staging, which displayed not only a hypermetabolic mass in the upper lobe of right lung but also increased FDG uptake of the spinal cord at T11 to T12 level. A lesion corresponding to the hypermetabolic region of the spinal cord was revealed by MRI. The intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from lung squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed through the pathological examination after the spinal cord lesion was resected.
