<unk> s are hamartomatous lesions, meaning that they arise from dysembryogenetic origin. They are formed from benign vasoformative neoplasms of endothelial cells that present as thin-walled vessels infiltrating the marrow, medullary cavity between bone trabeculae and are usually confined to the vertebral body. VHs are commonly seen incidentally while obtaining imaging for other indications. The consideration of VHs as a neoplasm is disputed, due to limited aggressive histopathological features. As such, some authors refer to them as hamartomas or vascular malformations (see etymology below).
