A 26-year-old male with a history of pulmonary sarcoidosis showed clinical, myelographic and intra-operative evidence of a C5-C6 spinal cord tumour, which was diagnosed by biopsy as a pure intramedullary granuloma.

Corticosteroids are the most useful therapy, and surgery is indicated only for minimal biopsy when the parenchyma is invaded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
