Primary amyloidoma of the thoracic spine causing paraparesis.

A 52-year-old lady presented with progressive paraparesis. MRI revealed collapse of D9 vertebrae which was infiltrated by a low signal lesion both on T1 and T2. She underwent vertebrectomy and insertion of moss cage. The histology came back as amyloidoma. The presentation, investigation and management of primary amyloidoma of the spine is discussed along with a review of the literature.
