Abstract
The authors report a case of an intramedullary metastasis in a 63-year old woman with breast cancer. This complication is known to be rare, and of poor prognosis despite treatment. The authors emphasize the int erest of magnetic magnetic resonance imaging as a major diagnostic inv estigation in small intramedullary lesions.
