Dr. Peng Xiaodong
There is no fixed treatment for thoracic vertebral hemangiomas. If the hemangioma is small in diameter and does not cause obvious symptoms, treatment may be deferred, but regular follow-up visits at the hospital are necessary. If the hemangioma is large or causes significant symptoms, prompt medical attention is required; doctors will typically treat it through surgical removal. If there is a risk of malignant transformation, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other treatments may be needed after surgery.
