Radiodiagnostic Revelation of an Atypical Calcified Paraspinal Mass: A Novel Case Insight from Katihar Medical College

Article Information


Ravi Sehrawat

Clinical radiology rarely encounters atypical calcified paraspinal masses, which are difficult to identify because they exhibit characteristics of both benign and malignant illnesses. A 45-year-old man from eastern India sought medical attention after experiencing discomfort in the center of his back and stiffness that worsened over three months. He has no neurological issues. Routine blood testing revealed nothing untoward. The conventional Xray, CT, and MRI scans all revealed a prominent, severely calcified mass in the paraspinal area that ranged from T7 to T9 vertebral levels and did not impact the spinal cord. The biopsy sample that was taken out and examined under a microscope revealed an atypical benign mesenchymal tumor called ossifying fibromyxoid tumor.(OFMT). This type of tumor is very rare in the paraspinal area. The case shows how important multimodal imaging is.
