A case of middle mediastinal cavernous hemangioma

While cavernous hemangioma are frequently observed in various tissues and locations in the body, mediastinal cavernous hemangiomas (CHMs) are rare, particularly in the middle mediastinum. Here, we report a case of a middle CHM which was diagnosed and treated in our hospital. A male patient age 57 years was admitted with a mediastinal circular low-density lesion. Preoperative examination was performed with a subsequent diagnosis of a mediastinal lesion. The lesion was resected and post-operative histopathology suggested that it was a cavernous hemangioma. Post-operative recovery was uneventful, and a follow-up examination nearly one year later showed that the patient had no recurrence.
