Spinal cord compression due to an extra-dural intra-vascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the thoracic spine.
We present a case of spinal cord compression in a 33-year-old male due to a T6-T7 paravertebral mass extending through the intervertebral foramen into the vertebral canal. Histopathological feature was consistent with an intra-vascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Differential diagnosis of the lesion and review of the literature are presented.
