MRI showed an extradural lesion measuring 4.2 x 1.6 x 1.9 cm (CC x AP x Trans), which was mildly hypointense on T1- and hyperintense on T2-weighted images with strong relatively homogenous enhancement following contrast administration within the posterior aspect of the spinal canal at the T6-T8 vertebral level, causing severe compression and anterior displacement of the cord [Figures 1-4].

Histopathology examination revealed a highly vascular tumor with innumerable thin-walled capillary vessels of varying sizes, lined by flattened endothelium, and embedded within a fibro-fatty tissue with a total lack of smooth muscular elements suggestive of capillary hemangioma [Figure 5].
