| Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine demonstrated an enhancing mass that involved the posterior aspects of C5 plus an abnormal signal within the adjacent spinous processes. However, bone destruction by a lymphoma is generally not as aggressive as that caused by a spinous cell carcinoma because the periosteum is preserved. Ligaments also attach the spinous and transverse processes, and are extremely important in stabilizing the spine. |
