Haemangioblastomas are uncommon @entity5 that usually occur in the cerebellum and, less commonly, in the intramedullary spinal cord. The extramedullary spinal canal is an uncommon location for these @entity5 . Also haemangioblastoma at this site is not known to be associated with @entity6582 . We present the clinical, imaging, and histological findings of an adult @entity1 with extramedullary spinal haemangioblastoma and reactive @entity6582 . Radiography and computed tomography (CT) revealed a medium-sized @entity5 that most likely arose from an extramedullary spinal nerve root. This @entity5 appeared to be slow growing as evidenced by the accompanying well-defined bony resorption with a @entity3808 rim and mild neural foraminal widening. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed prominent flow voids consistent with tumoural hypervascularity. CT-guided biopsy was performed. Although preoperative angiographic embolisation was technically successful, @entity5 bleeding necessitated @entity5 debulking rather than complete @entity5 resection. Histology of the resected specimen revealed haemangioblastoma. Seven months postoperatively, the @entity1 back @entity158 and @entity6582 have resolved.
