Observation:
- A 76-year-old female patient presented with an exceptional case of multifocal cavernous hemangiomas.
- The tumors involved both the spine and the ribs.
Findings:
- Surgical resection of spinal and chest wall lesions was performed.
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of multifocal intraosseous hemangioma.
Implications:
