X-Ray Spine Finding . . .

The X-Ray given below is of a 65 year old man who came with severe back pain and evening rise of temperature since the last 2 weeks. In addition to the extensive amount of osteophytes, we just could not come to a conclusion on a faint homogenous opacity jutting out to the left at L3-L4. His ESR is 124 mm.



Kindly throw light if anybody has a clue about what it could be.

  2. also, on the AP view correctly there is extensive osteophytosis, degenerative changes. Osteoporosis. Shadow that you have marked looks like paravertebral ossification not TB, lateral view spine and CXR would help
