(a) MRI T1-weighted image. Sagittal projection. The lesion affects the entire vertebral body, arches and processes and propagates from the bone structures to the surroundings, invading the spinal canal with canal stenosis, compression of the structures of the dural sac and thus also the spinal cord. The lesion is hyperintense in the T1, T2 and T2 fat-suppressed weighted image. (b) MRI T2-weighted image. Sagittal projection. The lesion affects the entire vertebral body, arches and processes and propagates from the bone structures to the surroundings, invading the spinal canal with canal stenosis, compression of the structures of the dural sac and thus also the spinal cord. The lesion is hyperintense in the T1, T2 and T2 fat-suppressed weighted image.

However, the possibility of another type of vascular soft-tissue tumour, including a rare Masson tumour, was not ruled out. (Figure 1(a) and (b)).
(a) Control MRI after surgery. MRI T1-weighted image. Sagittal projection. Haemangioma fills the whole Th7 vertebral body and its residual arch, but the spinal canal is without stenosis and the spinal cord is not compressed. MRI shows signs of spinal myelopathy ranging from the Th6/7 vertebra to the Th7/8 vertebra. (b) Control MRI after surgery. MRI T2-weighted image. Sagittal projection. Haemangioma fills the whole Th7 vertebral body and its residual arch, but the spinal canal is without stenosis and the spinal cord is not compressed. MRI shows signs of spinal myelopathy ranging from the Th6/7 vertebra to the Th7/8 vertebra.

MRI control was performed and showed that the haemangioma filled the whole Th7 vertebral body and its residual arch, but the spinal canal was without stenosis and the spinal cord was not compressed. MRI showed signs of spinal myelopathy ranging from the Th6/7 vertebra to the Th7/8 vertebra. (Figure 2(a) and (b)) The patient was referred for oncology consultation regarding further action.
