case_images: (a) Sagittal T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast demonstrating a homogeneously enhancing lesion in the T10 vertebral body with ventral and dorsal epidural extension causing severe spinal cord compression. (b) Axial T1-weighted MRI with contrast demonstrating a predominantly left-eccentric epidural lesion causing rightward displacement of the spinal cord. Of note the left T10 nerve root appears completely enveloped in the tumor.

case_images: The initial magnetic resonance revealed a T10 vertebral body lesion with epidural extension causing spinal cord compression [Figure 1].
case_images: (a) Four-month postoperative sagittal T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast demonstrating good spinal cord decompression with removal of epidural tumor components. Residual enhancement is seen throughout the T10 vertebral body which was not pursued during surgery. (b) Postoperative axial T1-weighted MRI with contrast showing the hemilaminectomy defect and a well-decompressed spinal cord with normal positioning in the spinal canal.
