Abstract

Osseous lipomata of vertebral bodies are rare. We present a very unusual case where adjacent vertebrae are involved and the plain radiographic and scintigraphic appearances gave cause for some concern. The findings on plain films, scintigraphy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.

Keywords: Key words Lipoma, Computed tomography, Magnetic resonance imaging, Radiography, Vertebral
