From: Understanding a mass in the paraspinal region: an anatomical approach
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a 72-year-old male with fatigue and mild thoracic pain at rest. Coronal STIR (a) shows left paraspinal infiltrative mass along three vertebral segments (double head arrow). Axial T1WI (b) and subtraction T1WI (c) shows an epaxial mass (white arrows), which extents on the ventral surface of the vertebral body and penetrates into the vertebral foramen (arrowhead). Both MRI and CT (d) demonstrate that the mass do not invades the vertebra (black arrow)
