 There is a smooth, physiologic thoracic kyphotic curve. The vertebral body heights and disc spaces are maintained. Marrow signal intensity is benign throughout. The spinal cord has a smooth contour and is without focal atrophy, edema, abnormal enhancement, or myelomalacia. A T2 hyperintense dermal lesion is seen posterior to the level of T3 with peripheral enhancement. This is favored to represent a sebaceous cyst.A 2.4 cm left lower lobe mass is again seen adjacent to the level of T6. Enhancing left pleural nodularity is again noted. There is a small left pleural effusion.There is no central canal or neural foraminal narrowing.T7/8 demonstrates mild loss of disc height with a right paracentral disc bulge.There is mild disc desiccation at T8-9Minimal disc bulge is seen at T10-11.
1.Mild degenerative changes of the lower thoracic spine without central canal or neural foraminal narrowing.2.No significant change in left lung/pleural metastatic disease.3.Small left pleural effusion.
