Abstract

Here, we report a rare case of cavernous hemangioma in the chest wall. A 60-year-old man visited our hospital due to an enlarging tumor in the chest wall. Unenhanced chest CT revealed an extrapulmonary soft tissue tumor with a smooth and clear boundary adjacent to the left forth intercostal space measuring 2.2×1.6 cm. Chest MRI revealed a low-intensity area on T1-weighted images with a high-intensity on T2, and an enhanced margin on a dynamic study. Therefore, with the suspicion of a neurogenic tumor, thoracoscopic tumorectomy was performed. However, the tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma.
