title: [Lombosacral epidural capillary hemangioma mimicking a dumbbell-shaped neurinoma: A case report and review of the literature].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Capillary hemangiomas are benign endothelial cell neoplasms that are believed to be hamartomatous proliferations of vascular endothelial cells. The occurrence of spinal epidural capillary hemangiomas is exceedingly rare. Only 8 epidurally located cases of capillary hemangiomas in the spinal canal have been reported in the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report for the first time, to our knowledge, a case of lumbosacral epidural capillary hemangioma revealed by S1 back pain and radicular pain in a 60-year-old patient, caused by an L5-S1 epidural capillary hemangioma. The neurological symptoms of the patient improved after surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spinal epidural capillary hemangioma is exceedingly rare. These lesions are benign and can mimic dumbbell-shaped neurinoma. Total removal by surgery is curative.
