Abstract:
Cavernous hemangioma in mediastinum is a rare tumor. A 13 year old girl was referred becaused of abnormal mediastinal shadow in simple chest X-ray. Chest CT scan revealed a somewhat inhomogenous cystic legion arround the whole length of SVC. Surgical excision was done through the right posterolateral thorachotomy. The pathology was confirmed as cavernous hemangioma.
