Hello
Hemangioma on left lower side of L2 vertebra mean hemangioma in left side of L2 vertebra in lower region.It is present inside the vertebral body.
Vertebral haemangiomas are most common benign vertebral neoplasms. They are usually asymptomatic and incidentally detected during imaging for other reasons.
It usually doesn't require any treatment.
Treatment is indicated if there is neurological deficits or severe pain.In symptomatic lesions,treatment options are radiotherapy,balloon kyphoplasty or transarterial embolisation.
