Abstract A 30-year-old man with low back pain and gradual onset of cord compression was found to have a highly vascular extradural tumour in the lower thoracic region. Involvement of the right pedicle and a large part of the body of T9 suggested a vertebral haemangioma, but histology revealed haemangioblastoma. One case of an intraosseous haemangioblastoma has been described previously; we present the features of another case shown by MRI and discuss the differentiation between haemangioma and haemangioblastoma.
