    Mediastinal hemangiomas are rare. Subtotal resection is recommended when total excision of these benign tumors poses significant risks, as residual tumors showed no adverse progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Mediastinal hemangiomas are uncommon benign vascular tumors.
    • Fewer than 100 cases have been documented in medical literature.
    • These tumors can cause symptoms due to invasion of adjacent structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of mediastinal hemangiomas.
    • To evaluate the long-term follow-up of patients treated for mediastinal hemangiomas.
    • To establish recommendations for surgical management based on observed outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 15 pathologically confirmed cases of mediastinal hemangioma.
    • Review of patient records for presentation, diagnostic imaging, surgical procedures, and follow-up data.

  • Correlation of presenting symptoms with tumor characteristics and invasion.

    • Main Results:

    • Eight of 15 patients presented with symptoms, often related to tumor invasion.
    • Six patients underwent complete tumor excision, and six had subtotal excision.
    • Follow-up for 14 patients (15 months to 15 years) showed no tumor spread, recurrence, or malignant transformation in residual masses.

    Conclusions:

    • Subtotal resection is a viable and safe option for mediastinal hemangiomas when complete excision is technically challenging or hazardous.
    • Benign mediastinal hemangiomas, even when incompletely resected, demonstrate a low risk of progression or malignant change.
    • Careful patient selection and surgical strategy are crucial for optimal outcomes in managing these rare tumors.
