Thoracic vertebral hemangioma is a benign vascular disease, most patients do not have symptoms and are only occasionally detected during imaging examinations, the morphology of the thoracic spine is normal and usually progresses slowly. However, in rare cases, the hemangioma may grow excessively and invade the vertebral arch or develop into the epidural of the spine.
