“…Les hémangiomes caverneux sont les plus courants et représentent jusqu'à 50 % de tous les hémangiomes. Ils consistent en des vaisseaux dilatés bordés par une seule couche de cellules endothéliales entourées www.odermatol.com d'une couche stromale fibreuse [3]. La plupart des hémangiomes caverneux sont de localisation profonde touchant le système nerveux,l'orbite, l'os et le muscle.…”

Hemangioma can be misdiagnosed. In our case the lesion was suggestive of a melanoma of the leg in a young patient. Indeed, the location of hemangioma in the limb is extremely rare and the and the literature most often reports the location of the upper limb. The largest hemangioma described was 10 cm in diameter In our patient, the size was 5.5×5 cm which makes our case interesting. In our case, the appearance, location and evolutionary history of the lesion were mistaken for a melanoma. Cavernous hemangioma is a rare, malformation that is difficult to diagnose. It is most of deep localization, namely the nervous system, the bone and the muscle. We report a case of a giant hemangioma of the leg mimicking a melanoma. Key words: Cavernous hemangioma; Giant hemangioma; Limb hemangioma

“…Such cases require combined rib resection or chest wall reconstruction. 2 In addition, Shimizu et al 3 reported an intercostal cavernous hemangioma that grew from 1.8 to 6.0 cm during a 3-year follow-up period. In contrast, Hashimoto et al 4 reported no recurrence of a small intercostal cavernous hemangioma of 1.2 cm after tumor extirpation using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).…”

“…Several surgical cases of large intercostal cavernous hemangiomas measuring >4 cm have been reported since the year 2000. Such cases require combined rib resection or chest wall reconstruction 2 . In addition, Shimizu et al 3 reported an intercostal cavernous hemangioma that grew from 1.8 to 6.0 cm during a 3‐year follow‐up period.…”

Robot‐assisted thoracic surgery for intercostal cavernous hemangioma

Intercostal cavernous hemangioma is extremely rare among benign vascular tumors. Achieving a definitive diagnosis preoperatively by radiographic examination alone is difficult; surgical resection is usually needed. Occasional cases are found as giant tumors, and some grow substantially during observation without treatment. Such tumors require extended surgical resection; however, small tumors can be completely resected by tumor extirpation alone. Thus, immediate surgical resection while the tumor is small might help to avoid invasive surgery. We herein describe cases of intercostal cavernous hemangioma with no invasion to the surrounding tissues, successfully treated by complete tumor resection using robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

“…The majority of hemangiomas of bone involve vertebral bodies, followed by the craniofacial skeleton and long bones. Hemangioma of the rib is rare, with only 33 cases of rib hemangiomas, including our two cases, described in the English literature to date [ 2 – 9 ]. In the literature and our cases, the median patient age was 50 years (range, 11–76 years).…”

“…Curettage for vascular tumors also has the risk of large bleeding events during the surgical procedure. Therefore, en bloc excision is typically performed for rib hemangioma [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. On the basis of previous report [15], en bloc excision with at least a 2 mm margin is advisable for obtaining optimal oncological outcomes in patients without biopsy…”

Cases. Case 1 was a 58-year-old man who presented with an incidentally detected, slowly growing mass in the right hypochondrium area. An imaging study showed the mass arising from the 11th rib, with ill-defined margins and cortical destruction. Differential diagnoses included chondrosarcoma and metastatic malignant tumor. Open biopsy was associated with moderate bleeding (300 mL) despite small incision. Microscopic findings showed numerous irregular, dilated, and thin-walled vessels, consistent with the diagnosis of hemangioma of bone, and en bloc excision was performed with no surgical complication. Case 2 was a 49-year-old man who presented with an incidentally detected 4th rib mass with calcification on computed tomography scan. Chondrosarcoma was suspected according to imaging features. An open biopsy was considered to have a risk of tumor seeding because the tumor was located behind the scapula. En bloc excision of the tumor without biopsy was performed. The pathological findings were consistent with hemangioma of bone. Conclusion. We reported two cases of rare hemangioma arising from the rib, which mimicked chondrosarcoma. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging, both clinically and radiologically. Because biopsy for hemangioma of the rib is associated with a bleeding risk, the en bloc excision without biopsy can be a practical treatment option.
