They often present in the vertebral body of the thoracic and lumbar spine with potential to extend into the posterior arch. They can involve a single or multiple ...
Hemangioma. A hemangioma or haemangioma is a usually benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types. The most common form, seen in infants, is an infantile hemangioma, known colloquially as a "strawberry mark", most commonly presenting on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life.

Cavernous hemangioma, also called cavernous angioma, venous malformation, or cavernoma, [1][2] is a type of venous malformation due to endothelial dysmorphogenesis from a lesion which is present at birth. A cavernoma in the brain is called a cerebral cavernous malformation or CCM. Despite its designation as a hemangioma, a cavernous hemangioma ...
Hemangioblastomas, or haemangioblastomas, are vascular tumors of the central nervous system that originate from the vascular system, usually during middle age. Sometimes, these tumors occur in other sites such as the spinal cord and retina. [1] They may be associated with other diseases such as polycythemia (increased blood cell count ...
They also detected a hemangioma, which is a benign growth filled with blood and blood vessels, in the T10 vertebrae of my thoracic spine. These typically won’t cause pain or grow, so because I ...
The following list comprises the list of most (if not all) cases of hereditary neurocutaneous angioma: 1964: Burke et al. describes 2 un-related American infants who had multiple small hemangiomatic lesions in various areas of the skin and the brain.

Kasabach–Merritt syndrome. Kasabach–Merritt syndrome (KMS), also known as hemangioma with thrombocytopenia, [1] is a rare disease, usually of infants, in which a vascular tumor leads to decreased platelet counts and sometimes other bleeding problems, [2] which can be life-threatening. [3] It is also known as hemangioma thrombocytopenia ...
