Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hemangioma is vascular tumor or tumor arising from blood vessels.
Hemangioma is benign tumor and there is no risk to life.
However, it can cause pain due to compression.
Vertebra is one of the commonest site among bone for hemangioma to develop.
It is treated by surgical removal and bone grafting if defect is large.
Thus, you need to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
