    AbstractA 76-year-old man was referred to our pain clinic for the treatment of bilateral lower extremity pain due to metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the sacrum. The pain could not be controlled with narcotics, antidepressant or the epidural block. The characteristics of pain were like those of benign disease, being spontaneous, not exacerbated by body movement, and having a dysesthetic nature with chill sensations. Therefore, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) was performed, relieving the pain until death, 6 months after its induction. This case shows the usefulness of SCS for neuropathic cancer pain that shows signs similar to those of benign disease.
