Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis with Intramedullary Metastasis of Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma: An Autopsy Case Report

Figure 2

(a–c) Histopathology of the surgically resected spinal cord tumor, revealing a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio with necrosis. The sections were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) (a) following immunostaining with synaptophysin (b) and CD56 antibodies (c). Both synaptophysin- and CD56-positive cells were observed. The tumor was attributed to small-cell lung carcinoma metastasis. Original magnification ×100.
