Abstract
Multifocal intraosseous hemangioma, which affects multiple body parts, is rare and comprises about 1% of all bone tumors, most commonly affecting the spine. It is more prevalent in females and typically occurs in the second decade of life. Histologically, hemangiomas are classified into cavernous, capillary, venous, or mixed types. Radiographically, they present as well-defined lytic lesions with characteristic appearances on CT and MRI. Treatment varies based on symptoms and includes surgery, radiotherapy, and curettage, though spontaneous resolution can occur in asymptomatic cases.
