Back Pain. CT Scan Shows Lytic And Sclerotic. MRI Lumbar Spine Suggested
sir, my mother aged 63 yrs is having back pain problem CT scan KUB (NCCT STUDY) done the impression is Lytic & sclerotic are seen in D12 & L3 vertebral bodies. Adjacent minimal paraspinal soft tissue is seen at D12 level. Left paraspinal soft tissues are oedematous at L3 vertebral level. Left psoas muscle is enlarged in size. No definite collection is seen. These features are suggestive of infective in origin. Other differential diagnosis would be neoplastic etiology. MRI lumbar spine/histopathological correlation is suggested . kindly advice me
