A 48-year-old male patient had presented with worsening pain at extremities and body. The MRI showed an inhomogeneously enhancing lesion at C5-T1. During the surgical evacuation through a midline myelotomy, a frozen section could not find any tumor cells or vascular malformations. Immunohistochemically, the diagnosis of capillary hemangiomas was confirmed. Keywords: Capillary hemangiomas, Intramedullary hemorrhage, Intramedullary tumor, Vascular malformation
