Abstract
A 76-year-old lady presented to the orthopaedic team with a 1-month history of bilateral leg weakness and some loss of bladder and bowel control. A thoracolumbar MRI scan revealed a focal mass within the 7th thoracic vertebra which was causing mild cord compression and was suspicious for a bony metastasis. An MDCT of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis was performed to search for a primary lesion as she had no other symptoms (Images 1–4).
