Abstract

A case of histologically proven intramedullary spinal cord sarcoidosis diagnosed antemortem is presented. The patient manifested symptoms referable only to the spinal cord simulating a tumor-progressive tetraparesis. The histologic diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established through exploratory laminectomy. Surgical intervention is the only way to rule out a malignant process in case of sarcoidosis limited to the spinal cord.
