Figure legends:
Fig.1 Preoperative CT scan of our patient. Coronal (A),
sagittal (B) and axial (C) reconstructions illustrate a lytic lesion in
the body and right sided pedicle of the first lumbar vertebra
Fig.2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the presented patient. It
illustrates a spinal lesion which is high signal in T2 (A) and low
signal in T1 (B). The axial reconstruction demonstrates an extradural
mass compressing the first lumbar nerve root (C)
Fig.3 Postoperative plain lumbosacral X ray of the presented
patient. Lateral (A) and anteroposterior (B) view is demonstrated
