Technique: Multiplanar, multisequence imaging has been obtained through the thoracic spine (non-contrasted study).
Findings: There is a paraspinal soft tissue mass, low signal on T1, heterogeneous high signal on T2.
There is chronic scalloping of the adjacent vertebral bodies but no erosion; there is no extension into the spinal canal.
Conclusion: Paraspinal mass in keeping with a slow-growing neurogenic tumour.
