Zusammenfassung:Metastasis is responsible for most cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In principle, metastasis is the spread of cancer from the primary site to distant tissues. Pathological consistency may be compromised during metastasis. We report the case of a 55-year-old man with MRI images of the dorsal spine showing the effects of a fifth dorsal collapse. He was referred to our hospital because of back pain, imbalance, inability to walk, and weakness of the lower limb. The histological features of bone tumors were corresponding with cell carcinoma, and bone damage was considered metastatic from a site in the lung. His general situation gently diminished, and He died during radiotherapy.
