What is the most likely diagnosis in these scans?

  1. Spine tuberculosis
  2. Aneurysmal bone cyst
  3. Bacterial spine osteomyelitis
  4. Spine metastasis
  5. Discitis

Answer

Congratulations to all those who guessed Metastasis!

The fact that disc spaces are relatively spared in these images, & both the anterior and posterior columns are involved, point towards metastasis.
