Mediastinal hemangioma is a rare tumor and only few cases have been reported in the literatures. We have experienced one case of cavernous hemangioma occuring at the superior vena cana. The patient was a thrity-five year old female with no specific symtoms except palpable cystic mass in the right cervical area. A routine chest radiography showed an upper mediastinal mass. Computed Tomography showed about 4x5 cm sized cystic mass communicating to the superior vena cava 2 cm above of the veno-atrial junction. After the evaluation, surgical excision was performed and the pathologic diagnosis was confirmed to cavernous hemangioma. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient has been followed up without any problems.

Cavernous hemangiomas of the mediastinum are rare tumors. A 3 year and 8 month-old female patient was referred because of an abnormal chest radiograph. Chest X-ray revealed abnormal shadow occupying nearly the entire left thoracic cavity. Surgical excision was performed and pathologic diagnosis was confirmed as 15X10 cm sized cavernous hemangioma. On the eighth postoperative day, the patient was discharged without any complications and has been followed up without any problems.

Lipiodol, lipid soluble contrast media, was applied to 59 patients, who was clinically suspected to havehepatic tumor, in the department of Diagnotic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital. The results of theclinical use of Lipiodol were as follows: 1. The clinical diagnosis was hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in 50 cases,cavernous hemangioma in 4 cases, metastasis in one case and others in 4 cases. 2. After hepatic arteriography,Lipiodol only was injected in 28 cases, mixture of Lipiodol and Mitomycin was injected in 22 cases andtranscatheter arterial embolization was performed additionally after injection of Lipiodol and Mitomycin in 9cases. 3. Among the 50 cases of HCC, Lipiodol was accumulated in the lesion in 49 cases. However, similaraccumulation of Lipiodol occured in a metastatic cancer and cavernous hemangiomas. 4. Plain radiographic patternsof Lipiodol accumulation could be divided into fine granular type, nodular type and linear or branching type. Thelinear or branching pattern disappeared in follow-up radiography after one week. 5. As minor complication afterLipiodol Injection. GOY &GPT were transiently elevated in 30 cases and normalized in a week. Abdominal pain andfever developed but subsided in a week too. 6. When an appropriate lipid-soluble chemotherapeutic agent orradioisotope is applied to this phenomenon in which Lipiodol is selectively accumulated in hepatic tumor, thediagnostic and therapeutic values will be more enhanced.

Renal hemangioma is an uncommon benign tumor which usually causes painless or painful gross hematuria. Its preoperative diagnosis is extremely difficult or even impossible. We experienced three cases of renal hemangioma, located mainly at the pelvocalyceal junction or in the inner medulla. US demonstrated variable echogenecity, and CT revealed a lack of significant enhancement. Where there is gross hematuria in a young adult, especially when the renal mass located in the pelvocalyceal junction or inner medulla shows little enhancement on CT, renal heman-gioma should form part of the differential diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings between two histological types of nasal hemangiomas (cavernous hemangioma and capillary or lobular capillary hemangioma). MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT (n = 20; six pre-contrast; 20 post-enhancement) and MRI (n = 7) images from 23 patients (16 men and seven women; mean age, 43 years; range, 13-73 years) with a pathologically diagnosed nasal cavity hemangioma (17 capillary and lobular capillary hemangiomas and six cavernous hemangiomas) were reviewed, focusing on lesion location, size, origin, contour, enhancement pattern, attenuation or signal intensity (SI), and bony changes. RESULTS: The 17 capillary and lobular hemangiomas averaged 13 mm (range, 4-37 mm) in size, and most (n = 13) were round. Fourteen capillary hemangiomas had marked or moderate early phase enhancement on CT, which dissipated during the delayed phase. Four capillary hemangiomas on MRI showed marked enhancement. Bony changes were usually not seen on CT or MRI (seen on five cases, 29.4%). Half of the lesions (2/4) had low SI on T1-weighted MRI images and heterogeneously high SI with signal voids on T2-weighted images. The six cavernous hemangiomas were larger than the capillary type (mean, 20.5 mm; range, 10-39 mm) and most had lobulating contours (n = 4), with characteristic enhancement patterns (three centripetal and three multifocal nodular), bony remodeling (n = 4, 66.7%), and mild to moderate heterogeneous enhancement during the early and delayed phases. CONCLUSION: CT and MRI findings are different between the two histological types of nasal hemangiomas, particularly in the enhancement pattern and size, which can assist in preoperative diagnosis and planning of surgical tumor excision.

Pure epidural cavernous hemangioma of the spine without vertebral involvement is rare. Due to the slow growth of this lesion, the most common symptoms are chronic pain, myelopathy, and radiculopathy. In our case, the patient complained of an acute onset sensory deficit of the C4 dermatome. An MRI revealed an epidural mass with an acute hematoma. Here, we report a case of a pure epidural cavernous hemangioma that presented with acute neurologic symptoms caused by intralesional hemorrhage and an acute epidural hematoma, which were demonstrated on the patient's MRI.

The primary esophageal lymphoma is extremely rare, and shows various morphologic characteristics. Only a single case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type lymphoma confined to the esophagus has been reported in the literature. A 61-yr-old man was referred to our hospital for evaluation of an esophageal submucosal tumor (SMT) that had been detected incidentally by endoscopy. He had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis with long-term anti-tuberculosis medication 15 yr before, and also had a history of syphilis, which had been treated one year before. He had been taking a synthetic thyroid hormones for the past 10 months because of an autoimmune thyroiditis. Endoscopy showed a longitudinal round and tubular shaped smooth elevated lesion, which was covered with intact mucosa and located at the mid to distal esophagus, 31 cm to 39 cm from the incisor teeth. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed a huge longitudinal growing intermediate- to hypo-echoic mass located in the submucosal layer with internal small, various sized honeycomb-like anechoic lesions suggesting germinal centers. Subsequently, he underwent a surgery, which confirmed the mass as a primary esophageal low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT type.
