A, Coronal nonenhanced CT image through the lumbosacral spine (soft-tissue windows) shows bone destruction (from T12 to L2), most severe at L1 and the adjacent disk space (L1-L2), and a 17 × 15 cm calcified paravertebral soft-tissue mass, involving almost the entire right psoas and the upper third of the left psoas muscle, extending up to the diaphragm and displacing the right kidney laterally. B, Axial CT image (bone windows) reveals complete destruction of the L1 vertebra with ill-defined osteolytic areas (arrowhead) and involvement of the posterior arch and pedicles (asterisk).
