Abstract
Capillary hemangiomas (CAs) are benign endothelial cell neoplasms that are often encountered superficially in the soft tissues of the head and neck region. Most of the reported purely spinal epidural hemangiomas have been of cavernous type, and the occurrence of purely spinal epidural CA is exceedingly rare, and there are only 12 reported cases of spinal epidural CAs in the English literature. Herein, the authors report the 13th case of purely spinal epidural CAs, and the clinical characteristics, histopathological features, and treatment were also investigated.
