BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: @entity4681 usually arise from the vertebral body. @entity2695 are rare lesions, and most reported cases are cavernous. We report a case of a @entity8702 in the thoracic epidural space. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The 57-year-old male @entity1 initially presented with low thoracic spine @entity158 . A magnetic resonance image of the thoracolumbar spine demonstrated an avidly enhancing epidural @entity66 in the lower thoracic spine with extension into the adjacent foramina at 2 levels on the right side. The @entity1 developed progressive @entity602 over the course of 2.5 years despite minimal radiological changes. Surgical treatment resulted in good recovery. Histopathologically, the lesion corresponded to a @entity5 composed of vessels of various calibers with fibrous septa between them. CONCLUSION: Early treatment of this type of lesion should be advocated to prevent deterioration and permanent @entity51 . Appropriate treatment appears to be gross total resection.
