摘要
The management of a patient with spinal cord compression can be complicated and challenging; however, this challenge becomes even more pronounced if the patient presents without a known cancer diagnosis in the context of progressive neurologic symptoms. Unless potential causes such as infection/ tuberculosis are included in the differential diagnosis of an apparent unknown primary, then the correct diagnosis may be incorrectly determined.
