Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors frequently reported when their location is in the skin or soft tissues. However, when the location is intradural and intramedullary, location becomes an extremely rare pathology. We present a 47-year-old male patient attended by the neurosurgery department of the Hospital General de la Plaza de la Salud, with an imaging finding of a nodular lesion at the level of T3 measuring 1.2 x 1.3 x 1.3 cm. During surgery, an exophytic lesion is evidenced by durotomy, very vascularized, whose anatomopathological and immunohistochemical report confirms the diagnosis of capillary hemangioma.
