Abstract:
Hemangioma of the rib is an exceedingly rare tumor with less than ten cases reported in the literature. Wide local resection without preoperative needle biopsy is the preferred treatment. The case of a 76-year-old man with a right chest mass that was discovered on chest X-ray obtained for asbestos exposure is reported to demonstrate the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this distinctly uncommon tumor.
