A. Coronal reconstructed CT image and B. axial CT image through distal right femur in bone window show the extent of the cortical metastases and underlying sclerosis more clearly (arrows). C. Axial CT scan through distal femur in soft tissue window shows a discrete associated soft tissue mass posteromedially on the right side, compared with the normal left side (arrows).
