The various types of body lesions seen commonly. A) Reduction of disc space with marginal erosions is the first sign of paradiscal lesion. B) Complete destruction of vertebral bodies can be seen, especially in children, and severe deformities occur. C) Body lesions with reduction in the body height and normal disc spaces can cause difficulty in differential diagnosis with metastasis and other neoplastic conditions. D) Anterior lesions show notching in the anterior margin without involvement of the whole body or the disc.
