case_images: X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings [Figure 1A] suggested an expansile, multitrabeculated osteolytic lesions, with thinned out cortex at L3 vertebral body and left pedicle (probably ABC). CT scan done on followup [Figure 1B], confirmed good filling of cavity and no any signs of recurrence.

case_images: Radiological investigation showed [Figure 2A] an osteolytic expansile, septate lesion involving D9 vertebral body, right pedicle and facet with decrease in height of D9 body leading to cord compression. Followup CT scan had confirmed, good filling of cavity with no sign of recurrence [Figure 2B].
