Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma commonly metastasizes to organs, but there are few reports of vertebral metastases causing cord compression. Here, we present a case of thoracic cord compression in a patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Providers’ and patient’s awareness of this risk is important, as this is an oncological emergency.
