Background and importance: Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCMs) are rare and no cases of ISCM from an adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) have been reported. Clinical presentation: We report a 54-year old man complaining backpain and worsening myelopathy. He had an ACC of the EAC resected years prior. A spinal MRI demonstrated a contrast-enhancing intramedullary lesion within the conus medullaris. The histopathological diagnosis of the patient was consistent with the patient's primary cancer. At 3 months follow-up, the neurological condition of the patient was unchanged. Conclusions: This is the first reported case of ISCM from a primary ACC of the EAC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
