Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 65190
  • Image ID: 44991335
  • Image stack position: 40/51
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: non-contrast
  • Study findings: The CT study shows an expansile lytic lesion involving the sacral spine, mainly the posterior elements with thinning of the overlying cortex. Multiple fluid-fluid levels can be appreciated. The lesion extends anteriorly results in significant narrowing of the spinal canal. The lesion extends anteriorly through the right S2/3 neural foramen. The presacral fat appears unremarkable. No associated soft tissue mass. The diagnostic possibilities might include aneurysmal bone cyst versus osteoblastoma.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Paediatrics
  • Findings: There is lytic lesion in the sacrum causing asymmetry of the sacral foramina. An overlapping fecal filled bowel loops degrade the image quality. The differential diagnosis of a midline sacral lesion in pediatric age group would include sacrococcygeal teratoma, chordoma, Ewing sarcoma or aneurysmal bone cyst. Further assessment with cross sectional imaging is needed to narrow the list.
