Abstract:
We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the anterior mediastinum that was incidentally detected by chest radiography taken at a routine health check-up. A mass lesion was seen in the anterior mediastinum on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Direct surgical removal was performed for diagnosis and treatment through right thoracotomy. Histopathology confirmed the mass as a cavernous haemangioma. Post-operative course was uneventful.
