Br J Radiol. 1995 Jul;68(811):770-2. doi: 10.1259/0007-1285-68-811-770.

Abstract

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.
