[|AI|]  I saw a similar case a year ago: CT an RMN seemed to show a tumor, but margins didn't infiltrate bone. After two negative biopsies, open surgery was performed to take a larger biopsy: again, no tumor. But cultural exam positive for staphylococcus aureus. In summary, it was a spondilodiscitis, an infection of intervertebral discs, generating a huge fibrosis mass containing bacteria. If the biopsy is negative, try cultural exams
