Abstract
Myxoid liposarcoma can frequently metastasize to extrapulmonary sites. We present two cases of myxoid liposarcoma metastatic to the epidural space. Both patients complained of back pain, but plain radiography revealed no abnormality. MR imaging clearly demonstrated metastatic tumors in the epidural space, but no involvement of vertebra. When patients with myxoid liposarcoma complain of back pain, metastasis in the epidural space should be considered even in patients without bone involvement.Entities:
