Fig 1 (A) Axial and (E) sagittal T1-weighted (T1W) images showing paravertebral, extrapleural, dumbbell-shaped soft tissue mass with focal hyperintensity that is significant for melanin component. Lesion originated from spinal canal and extended into neural foramen at the level of T4-5. Arrow indicating the cystic component of the lesion on (B) axial and (D) sagittal T2-weighted (T2W) images. (C) Axial and (F) sagittal T1W images after intravenous contrast administration showing enhanced lesion.
