The revealed mass showed contrast uptake that was visible in the T1 sequence. There was a T2-hyperintense signal change within the spinal cord at the level of the compression (Figure 1). The CT showed a bony proliferation originating from the left pedicle of T11, with laterodorsal compression of the spinal cord.
Transverse three-dimensional reconstruction and dorsal and sagittal CT scans revealed a boney proliferation compressing the spinal cord from the left, laterodorsal at the level of T10-11 (arrows)

No periosteal reactions or lysis of the adjacent bone indicating infection or malignant behaviour were noted (Figure 2).
