I have been suffering from pulmonary tb and on medication for last 4 months on forecox.two months back doctor suggested mri of dorsal spine left side.the mri reports reveal a well defined homogeneous mass lesion measuring 2.6 *1.4cm in the left paravertebral region beneath Left cyrus of the diaphragm
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The mass lesion seen in the paravertebral region needs further evaluation to find out its nature. In a person with tuberculosis, it could be related to TB. However, since you are on treatment for TB, other causes should also be looked into. These include other infections, malignancy, lymphoma, etc. The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing a biopsy of the lesion. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
