Abstract
A 30-year-old man with low back pain and gradual onset of cord compres sion was found to have a highly vascular extradural tumour in the lowe r thoracic region. Involvement of the right pedicle and a large part o f the body of T9 suggested a vertebral haemangioma, but histology reve aled haemangioblastoma. One case of an intraosseous haemangioblastoma has been described previously; we present the features of another case shown by MRI and discuss the differentiation between haemangioma and haemangioblastoma.
