Lumbar Vertebral Hemangioma with Aggressive Behavior
Keywords:
vertebral hemangioma, spinal tumors, aggressive hemangioma, spine, kyphoplasty, radiotherapyAbstract
Introduction: Vertebral hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors composed of capillary and venous structures with little malignant metaplasia. They represent 3% of all spinal tumors, are generally asymptomatic, with estimated incidence of 1.9-27% in the general population.
Objective: To report a case of vertebral hemangioma with aggressive behavior, clinical presentation and therapeutic possibilities.
Clinical case report: A 43-year-old female patient, hospitalized for moderate axial and radicular pain in the right lower limb caused by a pathological fracture, was diagnosed to suffer from an aggressive vertebral hemangioma.
Conclusions: It is important to know the radiographic characteristics of vertebral hemangiomas for their correct diagnosis and treatment. The use of bisphosphonates is an adequate therapeutic option in osteolytic tumor lesions.
