Radiologicamente, esta lesão lembra outros tumores vasculares da medula espinhal.A paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico com boa recuperação.

“…12,14,20,22) Such lesions frequently develop during childhood and do not have a sex predilection, i.e., sex incidence is almost equal. Capillary hemangioma in the neuraxis, including the brain, 29) spinal cord, 1,3,4,5,[7][8][9]16,18,19,24,25) cauda equina, 17) and nerve roots, 32) have been rarely encountered. Twenty-four cases of capillary hemangioma that developed in the spinal cord have been reported, excluding tumors in the spinal nerve root or cauda equina.…”

“…In spite of its benign property, capillary hemangioma shows increased proliferative activity, as indicated by an elevated MIB-1 index 10,11) ; moreover, recurrence/regrowth of capillary hemangioma in the skin or soft tissues is common. 13,14,22) Capillary hemangioma rarely involves the central 1,3,4,5,[7][8][9]16,18,19,21,[24][25][26]29) and peripheral 17,32) nervous systems. Its proliferative activity along the neuraxis has been shown to be high 2,5) similar to other lesions; however, recurrence/regrowth of the tumor in the central nervous system (CNS) has been extremely rare.…”
