Abstract

An important complication that occurs between 5 and 10% of patients with cancer is spinal cord compression syndrome that represents an oncological emergency. There is a relationship between lung cancer and spinal cord compression syndrome, because cancer can infiltrate the spine. However, it is not common to occur as an initial manifestation. We report the case of a 40-year-old patient diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma who had paraplegia as an initial manifestation.
