case_images: Computerized tomography scan of female patient showing bony destruction of the T8-T12 vertebrae as well as loss of height and kyphosis of T11. A paravertebral abscess can be seen extending from T8 to L1 level. The right psoas abscess is more easily appreciated on CT due to its large size (5 x 4.3 x 15.3 cm) as compared to left-side psoas abscess (1.1 x 1.3 x 3.4 cm). Key features including bilateral psoas abscesses and bony destruction of the spinal column have been identified with red and green arrows respectively.

case_images: Two months prior, a colonoscopy had revealed a right ascending colon mass that extended into the intestinal lumen (Fig. 2).
case_images: Computerized tomography scan of male patient showing a large complex mesenteric mass of the ascending colon that obliterates the appendix. Bowel wall thickening in the lower abdominal quadrants can also be appreciated. The mass has been identified with red arrows.
