From: Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma (PEM) of the spine with compression fracture: case report
MR-image of thoracic spine showed abnormal bone marrow signal intensity at T6 and T7 vertebral levels which show high signal intensity (SI) on T1W, low SI on T2W and STIR with enhancement (A). In the axial cut, adjacent left paravertebral soft tissue formation at lower border of T4-T7 levels which show heterogeneous high SI on T1W, heterogeneous low signal on T2W with intense enhancement involving vertebral body (B). Left neural foramen, posterior column of T7 level, and left posterior 7th ribs, causing severe spinal canal stenosis and spinal cord compression at T5 - T7 levels (C)
