Vertebral hemangioma with thickened trabeculae and fat foci inside the lesion, without soft tissue component with an associated pathological fracture.

TEACHING POINTS:
Bone hemangiomas are very frequent, atypical presentations and complications (like in this cases with soft tissue component and pathological fracture) are rare but radiologist must be aware of them to be able to make the correct diagnosis.
