IntroductionEpithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an intermediate locally aggressive tumor that consists of epithelioid cells and endothelial cell differentiation, which can occur at any age, but is most common between the ages of 30 and 40 years. EH in the thoracic spine is rare, and accurate diagnosis is critical to treatment planning. Our aim was to explore the imaging and clinical data of thoracic spine EH to improve the understanding of this rare disease.MethodsFrom January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2023, a database of thoracic spine masses was retrospectively reviewed. Five patients with histologically proven thoracic spine EH and complete imaging available were identified and analyzed. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were evaluated separately by two radiologists with more than 10 years of experience. Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT was conducted by two nuclear medicine diagnostic technologists with at least 5 years of experience.ResultsThe patients included three male and two female patients aged 23 to 56 years (mean age was 38.4 ± 14.3 years). All patients underwent CT, MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT examination before treatment. Four patients were limited to one vertebral involvement, only one patient had multiple vertebral involvement, and all tumors involved the accessories, including one involving the posterior ribs. The maximum diameter of the tumor ranged from 2.7 to 4.3.ConclusionsCT, MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of thoracic spine EH have certain characteristics, and understanding these imaging findings will help to obtain accurate diagnosis before surgery. |
