What segment of the population gets hemangiomas?

Hemangiomas are most commonly seen in infants and young children. They are more common in females and often appear on the skin or internal organs. While they usually do not cause any symptoms and tend to disappear on their own over time, some cases may require medical intervention.


What does T2 hyperintense lesion suggestive of hemangiomas in body of T3 and T10 mean?

T2 hyperintense lesions suggestive of hemangiomas in the body of T3 and T10 indicate that there are areas within the vertebrae at these levels that are likely benign vascular tumors. Hemangiomas are common spinal lesions that typically appear bright on T2-weighted MRI scans due to their vascular nature. These lesions are usually asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally. However, further evaluation may be warranted if there are associated symptoms or if the lesions show atypical features.

Almost all hemangiomas will undergo a long, slow regression, known as involution, without treatment. The end result of involution is potentially worse than the scarring that would occur with surgery.

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).

What is bony hemangiomas?

Bony hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that occur in the bones, often composed of a mass of blood vessels. They can be found in various locations, most commonly in the spine and the skull, and are typically asymptomatic, discovered incidentally on imaging studies. While they generally do not require treatment, surgical intervention may be necessary if they cause pain or other complications. In most cases, bony hemangiomas are considered non-cancerous and have a good prognosis.
