What are Paraspinous mass lesions?

Paraspinous mass lesions are abnormal growths or tumors located adjacent to the spinal column, typically involving soft tissues or structures surrounding the spine. They can arise from various origins, including infections, benign tumors, or malignancies, and may present with symptoms such as pain, neurological deficits, or palpable masses. Diagnosis often involves imaging studies like MRI or CT scans, and treatment depends on the underlying cause, ranging from observation to surgical intervention.
