Dural and Leptomeningeal Spine Metastases of Breast Cancer

Figure 1

Sagittal gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted Turbo Spin Echo Fat Sat MR image. The dorsal spinal cord is deformed and compressed by a sleeve of enhancing tissue, centered at the T2-T3 levels and extending between T2 and T7. The posterior body of T7 is infiltrated by a blastic lesion (hypointense on T1, T2, and STIR sequences) with peripheral enhancement (red arrow) highly suggestive of a bone metastasis.
