[no] suspicious demarcated [lytic or] sclerotic [lesion]

The report is clearly saying that there is no evidence of bony metastasis in the parts of the vertebral column that were imaged. Lytic/lytique are "vrais amis," but condensante is most definitely not. This term is saying that there is increased density which implies a sclerotic lesion: in other words, there is osteoblastic metastatic activity.
