Abstract
We describe an extremely rare case of a precocious solitary cervical metastasis from an endometrial cancer presenting as cervical radicular pain. In our review of published reports, we found that solitary spinal metastases are significantly associated with longer overall survival than are multiple lesions. Resection of the spinal lesion with rigid spinal reconstruction followed by radical hysterectomy may be beneficial in such patients.
