Capillary hemangiomas are benign tumors frequently located in the skin and other soft tissues during childhood. However, intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma is extremely rare. The current study reports a rare case of intradural extramedullary capillary in a 59-year-old woman who presented with backache and right lower limb numbness that had progressed over 20 days. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine showed an ill-defined mass at the T8 level. All other examinations were normal. The patient underwent surgery and recovered successfully. Histopathological examinations showed that the tumor exhibited the typical histological findings of capillary hemangioma, as it was comprised of a proliferation of capillary-sized vessels. The patient remains alive with no evidence of tumor metastasis and recurrence at 24 months post-surgery.
毛细血管瘤是一种良性肿瘤，在儿童时期常位于皮肤和其他软组织中。然而，硬脊膜内髓外毛细血管瘤极为罕见。本研究报告了一例罕见的59岁女性硬脊膜内髓外毛细血管瘤病例，该患者出现背痛和右下肢麻木症状，持续20天且逐渐加重。胸椎磁共振成像显示T8水平有一个边界不清的肿块。其他所有检查均正常。患者接受手术并成功康复。组织病理学检查显示，肿瘤呈现毛细血管瘤典型的组织学特征，由大量毛细血管大小的血管增生构成。术后24个月，患者存活，无肿瘤转移和复发迹象。
