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.
