Epitheloid hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions composed of epitheloid endothelial-cell-lined channels. We report an unusual case of a purely extradural non-osseous spinal epitheloid hemangioma presenting with quadriparesis. A 5-year-old boy presented with neck pain and quadriparesis following a trivial fall. MRI revealed a mixed intensity extradural lesion compressing the cervico-thoracic spinal cord posteriorly. At surgery the lesion consisted of vascular granulation tissue admixed with blood clots without abnormal vessels. Bone was normal. Histopathology revealed it to be an epitheloid hemangioma. The case and relevant literature is reviewed.
