PURPOSE Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a disabling complication to cancer, the optimal treatment for which is not settled. An analysis was performed for all patients with MSCC secondary to lung cancer in East Denmark from 1979 to 1988. PATIENTS AND METHODS The total series included 102 cases with small-cell carcinoma (SCLC; 40%), adenocarcinoma (ACL; 26%), squamous cell carcinoma (SQLC; 18%) and large-cell carcinoma (LCC; 9%). Symptoms, clinical presentations, and therapeutic results are described. RESULTS The outcome of treatment depended fundamentally on the patient's neurologic condition at the time of the diagnosis. All patients with SCLC who were able to walk at the time of MSCC remained ambulatory, whereas 15% of the nonambulatory SCLC patients regained walking ability. In non-SCLC, 95% of patients continued to be able to walk, whereas 22% regained the ability to walk. No major differences in the immediate outcome of treatment between the various histologic types of lung cancer and the different treatment modalities were observed; however, 82% of the patients with non-SCLC benefited from treatment with laminectomy followed by radiotherapy (RT) compared with either laminectomy (47%) or RT (39%) alone (P = .03, chi 2 test). The group of patients who were treated with laminectomy followed by RT had a better survival (median value, 3.5; range, 0 to 132 months) than patients who were treated with either laminectomy (median value, 1.5; range, 0 to 32 months) or RT (median value, 1; range, 0 to 59 months) alone (P = .03, log-rank test). No significant difference was observed in survival between the various histologic types of lung cancer (P = .18, log-rank test). CONCLUSION Despite a short survival, early diagnosis and immediate treatment is crucial because it may preserve the gait function in 97% of lung cancer patients who develop malignant spinal cord compression.

This paper reports a case of nonpapillary and infiltrative transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder with metastasis of lumbar vertebrae and spinal cord compression in an adult female ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), from the Mato Grosso state, Brazil. The ocelot had pelvic limb paralysis and skin ulcers in the posterior region of the body and was submitted to euthanasia procedure. At necropsy was observed a multilobulated and irregular shaped, yellowish to white nodule in the urinary bladder. The nodule had a soft consistency and arised from the mucosa of the urinary bladder extending throughout the muscular layers and the serosa. Nodules of similar appearance infiltrating the vertebral column the at L6 and L7 vertebrae with corresponding spinal canal invasion were also observed. The histological evaluation showed epithelial neoplastic proliferation in the urinary bladder with characteristics of nonpapillary and infiltrative TCC, with positive immunohistochemical staining for pancytokeratin, and strong immunostaining for cytokeratin of low molecular weight, and weak or absent labeling for high molecular weight cytokeratin. This is the first report of TCC of urinary bladder in ocelot in Brazil.
