What is vetebral body hemangioma?
Vertebral body hemangiomas are common and have an incidence of 10% in the population. Most often, these are incidentally detected and are asymptomatic. More common in adults, rare in children but when present in the later age group, vertebral hemangiomas are usually symptomatic. These lesions are thought to be venous malformations of the vertebral body. Based on research completed through April 2008, the causes are unknown at this time, but genetic predispositions have been considered. When one is diagnosed with vertebral hemangiomas, one should be advised to have physician follow-up as they may increase in size over time. Benign spinal hemangiomas may have a more gradual increase in size, whereas cancerous tumors may increase rapidly. Spinal tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but to rule out malignancy (cancer), a biopsy is required. Benign primary tumors begin at the location of the spine, whereas secondary (malignant) tumors may begin elsewhere in the body and spread to the spine. Hemangiomas will appear on spinal MRI's. Spinal hemangiomas may also be referred to as benign spinal tumors. One should visit a neurosurgeon as a first step in treatment if symptoms exist such as back pain or radiculopathies (nerve pain or numbness/tingling radiating to extremities).
