Which specialist to consult for the below CT / MRI findings?
Patient: Hi,  I am 30 yrs old(Male). I am having pain in my in right side back of chest since March'2011. I have been diagnosed with CT scan and MRI which says that I have lobulated margined expansile osteolytic lesions in relation to right sided poeterior elements of D9 vertebra with involvement of adjacent bone , extraosseous components and associated extradurtal compression of dorsal spinal canal around D9. The lesion measures about 44 mm X 39 mm in axial plane and about 36 mm X 43 mm in sagittal plane. Please advise suitable doctor in AIIMS to be consulted for the suitable treatment. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the MRI report you have attached. It is suggestive of osteolytic mass lesion in the vertebra which is also causing compression on spinal cord. Possibility of malignant looking mass is more likely by this description. You should consult orthopedic doctor for this. You will need Biopsy from the mass to confirm the diagnosis. Enblock resection with placement of implant today stabilize the spine are needed. So consult orthopedic doctor in AIIMS discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
