Article Title: Palliative care rounds: T12 epidural metastasis mimicks pelvic recurrence of cecal adenocarcinoma
Abstract: Following resection of an adenocarcinoma of the cecum, a 59-yr-old patient developed pelvic pain. Imaging of the pelvis was unrevealing, but magnetic resonance imaging of the spine demonstrated a T12 epidural lesion. Pelvic pain may be due to an upper lumbar or lower thoracic radiculopathy. This referral pattern must be recognized when evaluating cancer patients with occult pelvic pain.
