Abstract:
The most common sites of metastatic lesions that are caused by an invasive mole are lung, liver, and brain. Spinal spread is very rare. We present a 24-year-old patient with paraparesis that was caused by an extradural spinal invasive mole. Surgery, for decompression and biopsy, and subsequent chemotherapy resulted in complete recovery.
