Epidural Capillary Hemangioma in the Thoracic Spine with Neural Foramina Extension: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Capillary Hemangiomas are common soft tissue tumors on the skin or mucosa of the head and neck in early childhood, but very rare in the CNS. A 50-year-old man presented with three month history of back pain in the mid thoracic area, radiating pain to both legs, and decreased sensation (all types) below D7 dermatome. Thoracic spine MRI showed 34.3 × 27.5 × 10.5 mm, well-defined extradural mass at D5 body level, which showed isointensity to spinal cord on T1, Hyperintensity on T2-weighted images. The patient underwent D6-7 total laminectomy & complete tumor removal. Histological features were consistent with capillary hemangioma which is extremely rare at this site.

Dumbbell-shaped epidural capillary hemangioma.
We report a case of a purely epidural capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine with foraminal extension. Epidural hemangiomas are rare; only a few cases of dumbbell-shaped ones have been reported, and all were cavernous. MR imaging showed characteristic findings of a capillary hemangioma, which are also consistent with other epidural lesions such as neuromas or meningiomas.
متن کاملReport of a Case: An Intradural between Roots Capillary Hemangioma of Cauda Equina
Background & Importance: Cavernous angiomas are typically superficial lesionscreated by anomalous vessels and found in the skin or mucosa, but intradural locations are rare especially in the spine. We report a case of the spinal intradural Cavernous angiomas of the lumbar spine. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of low back pain and bilateral radicular pai...
متن کاملBilateral epidural extension of thoracic capillary vertebral (intraosseous) hemangioma mimicking spinal meningioma.
We describe a rare case of vertebra (intraosseous) hemangioma with bilateral and symmetrical epidural extension causing cord compression in a 24-year-old woman. The epidural component was isointense to cord on both T1 and T2 sequences, and enhanced markedly and homogenously following gadolinium administration. The gradual in onset and progressive nature with the typical enhancing pattern lead t...
متن کاملLymphangioma of the Thoracic Spine with Epidural Compression: A Case Report
Lymphangiomas are benign lesions consisting of abnormal proliferations of lymphatic vessels. Lymphangiomas associated with bone involvement, particularly in vertebral bodies, accompanied by cord compression, are extremely rare, and our literature review yielded only a few relevant reports. We describe a 61-year-old man presenting with progressive paraparesis and sphincter disturbance of 5 month...
متن کاملIntramedullary capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine: case report and review of the literature
Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms. When associated with the spine, these growths frequently involve the vertebral body, but rarely have they been reported to occur as intradural lesions, while even more rarely occurring in a true intramedullary location. We report a rare case of an intramedullary capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spinal cord and a review of the literature.
