Incidental finding of a small thoracic vertebral body hemangioma. Note the punctate sclerotic foci (polka-dot sign) which is a characteristic finding.
Case Discussion
Bone hemangiomas are benign, malformed vascular lesions, overall constituting less than 1% of all primary bone neoplasms. They occur most frequently in the vertebral column (30-50%) and skull (20%), whereas involvement of other sites (including the long bones, short tubular bones, and ribs) is extremely rare.
