This article reports a case of primary lumbar myoepithelioma with imaging findings. The patient is a 59 year old male. Plain CT scan shows osteolytic bone destruction and expansive growth in the L4 vertebral body and right appendix. MRI shows multiple cystic signals within the lesion, with clear edges. The cystic components of the lesion are not enhanced, while the septal and solid components are significantly enhanced. The vertebral tumor was removed and the postoperative pathology revealed a myoepithelial tumor.
