Mediastinal Cystic Haemangiomas: A Two Cases Report and Review of the Literature

Cavernous Hemangioma Concurrently Involving the Anterior and Middle Mediastinum and the Lung Parenchyma: A Case Report

“…Retrospectively, the lesion with soft tissue density in the middle mediastinum is thought to be the cystic portion filled with blood. Cystic changes have been reported in mediastinal hemangioma; to the best of our knowledge, they have been reported in only six cases (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Posterior Mediastinal Hemangioma: Case Report and Review of Literature

“…[7] However, patients must be closely followed up, because local recurrence, though rare, is possible. [7] For patients with local recurrence, one treatment option is vascular embolization, but it should be noted that there is a risk of spinal infarct for PMH involving the lower thoracic vertebrae or extending into the spinal canal through intervertebral foramina. [8] In such cases, reoperation is recommended.…”

“…[9] In conclusion, PMH is an extremely rare benign tumor, although it may show local invasion.

For locally infiltrated lesions, subtotal resection of the tumor is acceptable in managing the risk of massive intraoperative bleeding.…”
