MRI of spine showed destructive lesions involving the body of C5, T6 (right pedicle), T8 (left pedicle) and adjoining posterior ribs, L5, S1, S2, and left iliac bone (Figures 1, 2, and 3).
Sagital T2W image shows abnormal signal within the right pedicle of T6 with associated soft tissue. Similar abnormality was noted in the left pedicle of T8.
