Female, 55 years old, with history of cystic lesion in the spine status post resection. Assess for recurrence. Findings are redemonstrated compatible with T3-4 hemilaminectomy. The postoperative soft tissue fluid collection seen on the prior examination has resolved.A loculated cystic lesion is seen within the spinal canal, dorsal to the spinal cord, extending from T3 through T8. The overall size and morphology of this lesion does not appear to have significantly changed from the prior examination. Again, it is noted that the lesion expands into and chronically widens the neural foramina from T4 through T8.The spinal cord is not significantly deformed and there is no evidence of pathologic cord signal abnormality. No areas of spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis are seen. The intervertebral discs are preserved. Spinal alignment is anatomic. Marrow signal characteristics are within normal limits.Multiple pulmonary nodules are seen along with a thin right pleural effusion. Multiple hepatic masses are also partially visualized.
1.Stable loculated cystic lesion within the spinal canal dorsal to the spinal cord.2.No evidence of spinal cord edema.3.Multiple pulmonary and hepatic masses are partially visualized.
