Sumario:BACKGROUND: Cavernous malformations are characterized by enlarged vascular structures located in benign neural tissues within the cerebellum and spinal cord of the central nervous system. Cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) account for 5% to 12% of all spinal vascular malformations. CASE REPORT: We removed a hemorrhagic thoracic mass in a 40-year-old male patient who presented with progressive neurological deficits. CONCLUSIONS: We found it appropriate to present this case due to its rarity.
