A computed tomodensitometry (CT) in contrast to the chest was performed and revealed bilateral reticular-nodular disease in the lungs with the presence of cystic lesions that speared the lung bases (Figure 1(a)). As shown in Figure 1, no lymph node enlargement or pleural effusions were observed. A repeated CT scan of the chest showed significant decrease of the multiple lung nodules and the bone view revealed an 80% bone regeneration at the site of the initial osteolytic lesion (Figures 1 and 2).
(a) Computed tomography of the spine showed a large solitary osteolytic lesion of thoracic number 8 vertebral body and right pedicle. (b) Repeat CT spine, 18 months later, showed evidence of significance bone regeneration at the T8 osteolytic lesion.

The bone image on the same CT showed a solitary osteolytic lesion at T8 vertebral body and right pedicle, with a two-millimeter margin between the lesion and the spinal cord (Figure 2). A repeated CT scan of the chest showed significant decrease of the multiple lung nodules and the bone view revealed an 80% bone regeneration at the site of the initial osteolytic lesion (Figures 1 and 2).
