Abstract
BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common pancreatic malignancy, which rarely metastasizes to the spine.Case descriptionHere, we present a lytic lumbar metastatic PDAC resulting in severe epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) with instability. The lesion required preoperative particle embolization, surgical decompression, and fusion.ConclusionThis case report shows that PDAC may metastasize to the lumbar spine requiring routine decompression with fusion.
