Abstract
- It is well known that bronchogenic carcinoma frequently metastasize to bony skeleton, although it is unusual for it to metastasize to soft tissue in the form of a musculoskeletal abscess. We report a bronchogenic cancer patient presenting with back pain after undergoing a celiac plexus block. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated inflammation with an abscess of the paraspinal muscle from T12 to L5; however, it was subsequently diagnosed as a metastatic pleomorphic carcinoma by histopathological study.
