Neoplastic Lumbosacral Plexopathy in Untreated Cervical Cancer: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this report, we present the case of a patient with cervical adenocarcinoma progressive right lower-extremity pain and weakness. Electromyography lower extremities subsequent ultrasonographic imaging complementarily demonstrated findings considered suspicious for perineural spread malignancy to lumbosacral plexus sciatic nerve. This possibility was confirmed by magnetic resonance (MRI) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scanning. report suggests that in addition MRI FDG PET/CT scans, electromyography are valuable modalities diagnosis malignancy.
