“…1,2 The correct diagnosis is frequently delayed because misleading presenting symptoms are often due to metastatic deposits at distant sites, such as the brain, lung, heart or gastrointestinal tract. 3 The present case illustrates this. Our patient had an intracerebral haematoma, an intracardiac mass and gangrene of the small intestine.…”

“…Table 1 presents all cases of reported spinal metastases found in a comprehensive literature search. [ 1 2 3 4 6 9 10 11 13 14 16 21 22 ] The first three reported cases of spinal choriocarcinoma in other young males all represent cases of advanced multi-system disease burden as in the case reported here. In fact, in two of the three prior cases, the spinal involvement was only found upon autopsy.…”

Background:There are few cases of choriocarcinoma metastases to the spine that have been reported. Most occurrences are in women with the gestational form of the tumor, and these now exhibit a very high remission rate with chemotherapeutic treatment, typically circumventing the need for spinal surgery.Case Description:In an effort to better understand treatment options for those rare instances when choriocarcinoma does find its way into the spine, we have synthesized a comprehensive literature review on the clinical cases of choriocarcinoma spinal metastases. We also describe our unique experience and decision-making involving the first reported case of surgical treatment of non-gestational choriocarcinoma spinal metastases in a male patient.Conclusion:Spinal surgery has a limited role in metastatic choriocarcinoma, but there is the potential for improving neurologic decline even in the rare and aggressive male variant of this disease.

The Roux-en-Y method of reconstruction was performed after resection.…”
