CT scans of the spine and the chest. The sagittal reconstruction of the native CT scan of the spine (A) confirms a compression fracture of the third thoracic vertebra with lytic destructions of posterior margins of both adjacent vertebral bodies (arrow). The axial reconstruction of the contrast enhanced CT scan of the chest (B) suggests a tumorous lesion of the ventral left upper lobe (large arrow) with accompanying mediastinal lymphadenopathy (small arrows).
