Case report: multiple thoracic haemangiomas--a rare cause of spinal cord compression.
Benign haemangiomas are a rare cause of mediastinal masses. We present a patient with multiple thoracic wall and mediastinal haemangiomas who developed spinal cord compression as a result of extradural extension of the haemangiomas. This is a rare cause of spinal cord compression.
