Abstract
Vertebral hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that is usually asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally on imaging. When symptomatic, the most frequent presentation occurs in the form of vague back pain of insidious onset and, in rare cases, may be associated with root or spinal compression, causing sensory and motor deficits. The authors report the case of a 33-year-old man, previously healthy, with a diagnosis of thoracic spine hemangioma at multiple levels, in the sternum, in the scapula and in the costal arches; all lesions were symptomatic, and surgical intervention was required; one of the lesions at the thoracic spine level evolved with spinal compression and acute neurological deficit, requiring urgent surgical intervention. Intraosseous hemangiomas represent < 1% of all bone tumors, having few reports of multifocal presentation in the axial and appendicular skeleton. In the literature review, no other case of aggressive multifocal intraosseous hemangioma with this presentation was found, including associated neurological symptoms in the same case.
Study developed at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil.
