Abstract

A 31-year-old woman visited an out-patient clinic, because of low-grade fever and general fatigue. She was referred to our hospital and admitted for examination of an abnormal shadow which had been found on the chest radiograph. She had experienced faint right lateral chest pain several times on the deep inspirations. Chest radiography showed a mass shadow with calcification in the right lower lung field on the mediastinal side. Chest radiographic computed tomography showed a 6×6 cm tumor in the right lung field. There were low-density areas with septae inside the tumor. Bone scintigraphy showed extremely high uptake of 99mTc-HMDP in the tumor. After surgical resection and pathological examination, we concluded that the tumor was an extensively calcified benign hemangioma of the diaphragm.<br>(Internal Medicine 39: 576-578, 2000)
