Abstract

Capillary hemangiomas are benign tumors frequently located in the skin and other soft tissues during childhood. However, intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma is extremely rare. The current study reports a rare case of intradural extramedullary capillary in a 59-year-old woman who presented with backache and right lower limb numbness that had progressed over 20 days. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine showed an ill‑defined mass at the T8 level. All other examinations were normal. The patient underwent surgery and recovered successfully. Histopathological examinations showed that the tumor exhibited the typical histological findings of capillary hemangioma, as it was comprised of a proliferation of capillary-sized vessels. The patient remains alive with no evidence of tumor metastasis and recurrence at 24 months post-surgery.
