MRI obtained at the outside hospital was read as hypervasculer metastatic disease. The patient was transferred to a tertiary center for properative embolization of the “tumor”. Angiogram performed prior to embolization demonstrated findings consistant with a hemangioma. The lesion was embolized. Further laboratory and imaging work up demonstrated no evidence of primary malignancy and the patient went to the O.R for spinal stabilzation.Tuesday, 01 Feb 2005 13:47:46 GMT
