摘要：
Objective: Hemangioendotheliomas (HE) are vascular neoplasms that rarely involve the neuraxis. We report a rare case in the literature of intradural HE of the spinal cord with intramedullary extension. Clinical Presentation and Interventions: A 41-year-old gentleman presented with low back pain, numbness and urinary retention. Imaging revealed a spinal tumor causing complete blockage at the level of T-12. The tumor was resected and postoperative radiotherapy was delivered for residual disease. No disease was seen on MRI after 48 months of clinical and radiological follow-up. Conclusion: Complete excision of HE is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy may play a role in the management of this lesion. Copyright (C) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel.
