    abstract = {Ovarian cancer is fifth in cancer deaths among women with gynecologic malignancy. This tumor have good initial responses to surgery and chemotherapy in 80% of cases, but >75% of patients die due to complications of disease progression. A female, 25 years old, admitted in Fatemieh hospital with complaints of lower limbs paresthesia from 6 h before admission in hospital. She had paresthesia in lower limbs that was increased gradually and urinary incontinence was added. Within 2 h after admission, she became paraplegic. She was treated with dexamethasone then was referred to a neurosurgeon for urgent laminectomy. Neurosurgeon reported spinal cord invasion with a tumoral mass. Pathologic diagnosis was metastatic dysgerminoma. Then, radiotherapy and chemotherapy was done. Metastasis of ovarian tumor to spinal cord is rare and need more aggressive multidisciplinary treatment approach.}
