33 years Male (DOB:2/4/1982)Reason: Malignant tumor of soft tissue of upper limb, left History: Pain in bilateral lower back, "pea sized" lump noted to left lower backReferring Attending: REX C. HAYDON Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact. No abnormal enhancing lesions are appreciated in the lumbar spine. There is a formed disc present at S1-S2At L5-S1 there is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and a broad-based left lateral recess disc protrusion which impresses on the nerve root at the left lateral recess and displaces it. There is no significant enhancement associated with this.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
