Abstract

Abstract : 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.
