Spinal involvement of infantile hemangiomas is rare with the predilection to involve the epidural space. A proper diagnosis might be challenging due to the atypical location and variable/inconsistent use of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) classification by radiologists, pathologists, and clinicians. A proper diagnosis of epidural infantile hemangioma is key due to the different aggressiveness of the treatment options with inconstant literature regarding the best available treatment. Herein, we present a case of a massive epidural infantile hemangioma successfully treated with only beta-blocker. We discuss the clinical, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and histological features of this lesion as we review the literature with the objective of addressing some of the confusion surrounding the subject.
