The vertebral cavernous hemangioma is described as the number five cause in the etiology of the Andersson lesion (vertebral-discal destruction in ankylosing spondylitis). In one case of a completely stiffened spine, radiographs showed a vertebral hemangioma with a cockade-like appearance instead of the typical coarse-striated osseous structure. Histologic necropsy results were those of a cavernous vertebral hemangioma. The immobile rigid spine, that is, the pathologically disturbed function appears to have a strong influence on the form, structure and pathology.

The majority of cases of spinal canal compromise are caused by common pathologic conditions, including degenerative spondylosis, infection, trauma, and metastatic disease. However, there are other causes of spinal canal compromise that, though unusual, may be seen in everyday practice. Congenital abnormalities of the spine that may produce spinal canal compromise include the os odontoideum, hemivertebra, diastematomyelia, and achondroplasia. Arthritides and enthesopathies such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, synovial cysts of the facet joint, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition or hydroxyapatite deposition, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or ligamentum flavum may lead to narrowing of the spinal canal. Primary spinal tumors and tumorlike lesions such as hemangioma, aneurysmal bone cysts, osteochondroma, and osteoblastoma may also cause spinal canal stenosis. Finally, Paget disease of bone may compromise the spinal cord. Radiologists should be aware of these unusual musculoskeletal causes of spinal canal compromise and their radiologic and clinical features.

Lobular capillary hemangioma or pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor of the skin or mucous membranes. Most patients present a single lesion. It manifests clinically as an erythematous, friable, and fast-growing tumor. This report details a case with exuberant presentation in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis, using adalimumab. Factors triggering pyogenic granuloma are not well known. They may spontaneously regress, but most require treatment.
