There was fixed palpable mass at the back, hard, no fluctuations, no rebound tenderness. Lumbosacral examination without contrast revealed a mass between vertebrathoracal ( VTh ) 4-9, it showed cold abscess. Lumbosacral MRI revealed compression anterior of the veterbralthoracal corpus ( VTh ) 7, and pushing to the spinal cord posteriorly, and showed gybus formation, and abscess on the anterior of veterbralthoracal ( VTh 4-7). Based on the patient's medical history, physical examination, laboratory, the patient was diagnosed with TB spondylitis.
