Key Points

To illustrate the diagnostic challenges of aggressive vertebral haemangiomas and the role of imaging techniques.
Reported a case study of a 68-year-old woman with a suspected aggressive vertebral lesion.
Utilized both CT scans and MRI to assess the lesion's characteristics.
Analyzed the correlation between CT and MRI findings to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
Identified the lesion as an aggressive vertebral haemangioma rather than plasmacytoma.
Demonstrated that CT-MRI correlation can significantly aid in differentiating similar spinal lesions.

Abstract

Abstract The reduced specificity of certain MRI findings for aggressive vertebral haemangiomas (VH) may result in uncertainty surrounding the diagnosis. Utilising concurrent CT scans in such cases may provide additional evidence to help improve diagnostic accuracy. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with an aggressive vertebral haemangioma variant where the importance of CT-MRI correlation is demonstrated.
