Abstract

Vertebral and epidural metastases are common in malignancies, but intradural spinal metastases are rare. In this paper, we report a case of biopsy-proven intradural spinal  metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the prostate.Keywords : intradural metastasis, prostate carcinoma, spinal metastases
