About this Condition

The spinal cord (intramedullary metastasis) and CSF space (leptomeningeal metastastis) are rare, but possible locations for cancer to spread to.

These locations are rarely affected early in the disease unless from a CNS cause and can be difficult to visualize by imaging unless large.
