Intramedullary metastases (IMM) are rare. Lung cancer is the most common primary. We report in this work the case of a 59-year-old patient, previously treated with chemo-radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer, who presented with an isolated intramedullary relapse. Palliative radiotherapy and systemic corticosteroids were initiated with an improvement of neurological symptoms. The patient died 3 months after the diagnosis of IMM. Through this work, we underline the singularity of the isolated character of the reported relapse and the importance of an early diagnosis of these lesions, often associated with a poor prognosis.
