Metastatic melanoma, known T9 compression fracture: back pain. There is a heterogenous tumor in the T9 vertebral body that measures up to 25 mm. There is up to 40% loss of height of the T9 vertebral body centrally, which may be due to a combination of pathological fracture and underlying intravertebral disc herniation, which is otherwise apparent at multiple other levels of the thoracic spine. There is no retropulsion of tumor into the spinal canal. There is no spondylolisthesis. The spinal cord appears to be intact. There is a partially imaged bulky right hilar mass.
