Glomangioma at the cervical spine as an extradural dumbbell-shaped tumor--a case report.
A case of glomangioma located at an unusual site, the extradural space of the cervical spine, is presented. To our knowledge, this is the first case that has been identified at this location. Radiographic features of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) image were collected as a dumbbell-shaped tumor at epidural space of the cervical spine. These features correspond with the histological findings.
