In HCC, most frequently encountered metastatic sites are lungs(47%), lymph nodes(45%), bones(37%) and rarely adrenal glands(12%)[3]. Skeletal invasion in HCC is a rather less likely cause of distant metastases. However a recent survey[4] showed an increased incidence of bone metastases up to 25% over the last decade[5] involving the axial skeleton frequently. Although very uncommon, there are several other reported cases with a similar presentation[6]. However to our knowledge, spinal cord compression in HBV-related HCC was reported in only one other case report from
