Figure 2. (a) Unenhanced CT scan obtained above the aortic arch shows the right paraspinal tumour composed of both fat and soft tissue attenuation. The mass has some stranding and nodular soft tissue density (arrow) within the fatty area. Note the growth into the neural foramen (arrowhead). (b) Contrast-enhanced CT scan obtained at the level of the carina shows the mass abutting on the descending thoracic aorta (arrow). The soft tissue component shows minimal enhancement.
