Abstract
We report a case of tumor infiltration into an intervertebral disk ima ged at MR. The MRI appearence of a tumor infiltration into an interver tebral disk is the same as a spondylodiscitis: loss of the internuclea r cleft, increased signal intensity of the disk on T2 weighted imaging . Other metastatic infiltration in vertebrae and a. primitive tumor su ggest the diagnosis. It is confirmed by percutaneous biopsy.
