Aggressive bone lesion proximal 4th rib with associated soft tissue mass and obliteration of the epidural fat at T3 and T4. These findings are interpreted as primary bone lesion (most likely chondrosarcoma) taking origin from the right 4th rib and extending within the vertebral canal. This findings can explain paresis/paralysis hind limbs
Permeative lysis of the dorsal aspect of the 4th right rib. Long zone of transition and evidence of amorphous new bone formation. No evidence of bone lysis or new bone formation in the adjacent vertebra Associated soft tissue mass measuring at least 7 cm in diameter extending ventrally and displacing the lung and cardiac silhouette ventrally and to the left. Obliteration of the epidural fat around the cord at T3 and T4 Multiple spondylosis
