What Is a Spinal Hemangioma?
A spinal hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor of the spine. These growths classically appear in the thoracic and lumbar spine, located in the mid to lower back. While the tumor is not dangerous, it can cause pain and discomfort, and treatment may be recommended for these reasons. Spinal surgeons are usually involved in the evaluation and treatment of patients with spinal hemangiomas and patients can access especially good treatment at spinal centers, facilities specializing solely in spinal care.
