Axial imaging with multiplanar reformats of the lumbar spine have been obtained. There is an angled kyphosis centred at the T8 level, with a soft tissue destructive mass engulfing the T7, T8 and T9 vertebral bodies (near complete obliteration of the T8 vertebra). There is no definite thoracic spinal canal tumour extension and minimal paravertebral soft tissue involvement. No focal abnormality identified.
