- Abstract
- We report here on the case of a 19-year-old woman who presented with progressive weakness of the lower extremities. The radiographs and CT showed vertebra plana of the first thoracic vertebral body. The mass had low signal intensity on the T1-weighted MR image and intermediate signal intensity on the T2-weighted MR image, and this low signal intensity extended to the spinal canal. Histological examination revealed a giant cell tumor (GCT). MR imaging is the imaging modality of choice for helping to distinguish spinal GCT from other spinal tumors by defining the extent and characteristic signal intensity of the tumor.
