The lumbar magnetic resonance (MR) showed an ovoid intramuscular L3 paravertebral right-sided mass (i.e. 70 x 50 mm longitudinal X anterior-posterior axes) that was hypointense on T1, and hyperintense on T2-weighted images; it had well-defined margins, and markedly enhanced with gadolinium (i.e., T1-weighted fat-suppression sequences) [Figures 1 and 2].
