Fig. 17From: Bone up on spinal osseous lesions: a case review seriesChordoma. Sagittal T2-weighted (a), axial T2-weighted fat-saturated (b), and coronal T2-weighted (c) images demonstrate a heterogeneously hyperintense, expansile and destructive lesion (orange arrows) involving the L3 vertebral body. Numerous internal septa (white arrows) are seen within the lesion, creating a “honeycomb” configuration. The lesion extrudes out and over the left aspect of the veretebral body (creating a "mushroom" appearance), and displaces the adjacent paraspinal musculatureBack to article page
