Chordoma GCT Chondrosarcoma Plasmacytoma Age at diagnosis (range) (peak yr) 40–60 20–30 30–70 30–60 Most common location in mobile spine Cervical Lumbar (sacrum much more common) Lumbar Thoracic Commonly involves posterior elements – + + + Intratumoral calcification Amorphous – Rings and arcs – T2WI ↑↑ ↓→ ↑ ↑ Extraosseous extension + + + – Characteristic feature Dumbbell or mushroom shape Lytic lesion without sclerotic rim; fluid-fluid levels Intratumoral chondroid matrix Minibrain, soap bubble
Note:—GCT indicates Giant cell tumor; –, features absent; +, features present; ↓→, hypo- to iso-intense intralesional signal; ↑, hyperintense intralesional signal.
