Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is an uncommon cancer in the United States. Its initial presentation as spinal cord compression due to vertebral metastasis is rare. This article reports a case of radiculopathy and rapidly developing spinal cord compression because of bony metastasis from this form of liver cancer. This article also reviews pertinent literature and discusses the diagnostic modalities for early detection.
