Abstract
- A 26-year-old man experienced the sudden onset of back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a pathologic fracture of the T9 vertebral body. A chest radiograph and computed tomography of the chest showed a mass in the upper lobe of the left lung, with involvement of the hilar and mediastinal structures. Diagnostic testing was performed, and a management decision was made.
