DUMBBELL-SHAPED EPIDURAL CAPILLARY HEMANGIOMA, CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Orthopedic dept., Faculty of Medicine, Sohag Univ., Sohag, Egypt
Abstract
Background: Hemangiomas are benign vascular hamartomas. Spinal epidural capillary hemangiomas (SECH) are rare and dumbbell-shaped SECH are even extremely rare. The complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice, yet this represents a dilemma as the mass is usually discovered late in big size. Case Description: A 55years old woman presented with incomplete spastic paraplegia (ASIA type III) 3 months ago. MRI showed a right-sided dumbbell-shaped mass against the 3rd to the 5th thoracic vertebrae. The mass was resected through a single stage posterior approach with hemilamenectomy and costotransve rsectomy. Histopathologic examination showed epidural capillary hemangioma. Conclusions: Dumbbellshaped SECH is extremely rare lesion but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass in this location. Single-stage posterior approach described in this report is a good surgical method for removing dumbbell tumor with large intrathoracic component without necessitating thoracotomy
