Steroid-induced thoracic lipomatosis: paraspinal involvement.

Fat deposition of masslike proportion in the thoracic paraspinal area due to elevation of corticosteroids has not been well documented. Three cases are reported that demonstrate lower thoracic paraspinal widening on routine radiographs, subsequently proven to be fat by computed tomography. All three patients were cushingoid. Computed tomography offered a convenient way to document fat accumulation in an unusual location when other more serious processes were being considered.
