Axial (a) and sagittal (b) T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium demonstrating a T8 and T9 lung adenocarcinoma invading the vertebral body and destruction of the right T8 and T9 pedicles with epidural extension of the tumor causing cord compression. (c and d) Postoperative radiographs depicting pedicle screw fixation after minimally invasive separation surgery. A T8 and T9 laminectomy, right T8 and T9 transpedicular decompression of the spinal cord, and percutaneous posterior instrumentation from T6 to T11 were performed. Sagittal (e) and axial (f) T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium 5 months postresection and stereotactic body radiation therapy of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma
