X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings [Figure 1A] suggested an expansile, multitrabeculated osteolytic lesions, with thinned out cortex at L3 vertebral body and left pedicle (probably ABC). CT scan done on followup [Figure 1B], confirmed good filling of cavity and no any signs of recurrence.
