Abstract

This case report describes the laparoscopic resection of a rare diaphragmatic haemangioma. A 45-year-old male patient was diagnosed incidentally with a left subphrenic mass by computed tomography. Laparoscopic left subphrenic mass excision was performed under general anaesthesia. A phrenic haemangioma was confirmed by postoperative pathology. Tumours originating in the diaphragm are rare, with only approximately 200 cases reported in the past century. The diaphragmatic tumour was determined to be primary because intraoperative imaging showed that the tumour was relatively isolated and had no obvious relationship with the surrounding tissues and organs.
