This review highlights that multilevel spinal lesions can mimic aggressive metastases. Understanding differential diagnoses like bone infarcts and Paget's disease is crucial for accurate assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Metastasis is a common cause of multilevel spinal lesions.
  • Differentiating benign conditions from metastatic disease is clinically important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review multilevel spinal lesions where metastasis was a possible differential diagnosis.
  • To enhance reader confidence in assessing these complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymised retrospective review of patients with multilevel spinal lesions.
  • Extensive imaging evaluation for all lesions.
  • Biopsy performed for suspicious or aggressive imaging features.

Main Results:

  • Multilevel spinal lesions can exhibit aggressive imaging features without being metastases.

  • Differential diagnoses include bone infarcts, Paget's disease, extramedullary hematopoiesis, treatment-related changes, and axial spondyloarthropathy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of multilevel spinal lesions requires careful consideration of differential diagnoses beyond metastasis.
    • Familiarity with non-metastatic aggressive-appearing spinal lesions is essential for clinicians.
