Abstract
The MR features of a giant cell tumor that predominantly involved the posterior elements of a thoracic vertebra are presented. This extradur al neoplasm compressed and displaced the spinal cord. The tumor had lo w to intermediate signal on short-repetition-time images and predomina ntly high signal on long-repetition-time images. It showed mild hetero geneous enhancement with gadopentetate dimeglumine.
