Intercostal hemangioma, a rare chest wall tumor, was successfully treated with surgical resection. The patient remained recurrence-free for 3 years post-operation, demonstrating effective management of this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Vascular Anomalies

Background:

Chest wall tumors are rare, with intercostal hemangiomas being exceptionally uncommon, reported infrequently over the last two decades.
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can occur in various locations, including the chest wall, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

A 33-year-old male patient presented with a symptomatic intercostal hemangioma.
The hemangioma was located in the chest wall, necessitating surgical intervention.

Findings:

Surgical resection of the intercostal hemangioma was performed, involving the tumor and adjacent muscles.
The surgical approach preserved bone and lung tissue, minimizing invasiveness.
Post-operative follow-up of 3 years showed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Implications:

Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment for intercostal hemangioma, leading to favorable long-term outcomes.
This case highlights the importance of considering rare chest wall tumors and the feasibility of conservative surgical techniques.
Further case reports and studies are warranted to establish optimal management guidelines for intercostal hemangiomas.
