Bone hemangioma

Bone hemangioma is a hamartoma and is a benign tumor. It can occur in various parts of the body or in the bone, but the latter is far less common than hemangiomas that occur in other parts of the body. According to domestic statistics, spinal bone hemangiomas account for about 3% to 8.1% of primary spinal tumors, but the clinical detection rate is low. The reason may be: bone hemangiomas are benign, slow growing, and asymptomatic Symptoms were mild and the patient did not seek medical attention and was not found. Patients with advanced osteolytic damage had significant changes, but were misdiagnosed as metastatic cancer and gave up further examination and treatment. The disease occurs in the spine and skull. The cervical spine is inferior to the thoracic and lumbar spine. The disease is common in middle-aged people around the age of 40, with more women than men.
