[Cervical pain as the only complaint in a patient with metastatic advanced lung carcinoma (case report)]

Description of a case of metastatic advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma without any symptoms of the original focus. The only complaint of the patient almost throughout the course of the disease was cervical pain. Despite fast clinical course of the disease considerable adaptation of spinal cord to compression by metastatic focus in the vertebral column, may occur. Also numerous metastatic in bones or large foci in suprarenal glands may remain silent for a longer time of the disease. Examinations carried out: bons scinticsanning, CT of the abdominal cavity and MRI of cervical spine allowed to suspect that process with great probability, what was confirmed by autopsy.
