Video-assisted thoracic surgery excision of mediastinal hemangioma

Alexander P H Chan et al. Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

A 62-year-old woman with a middle mediastinal hemangioma was successfully treated using a video-assisted thoracic surgery approach facilitated by segmental rib resection, despite an initial radiological study that showed encasement by the surrounding great vessels. Pathological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma. This approach offers potential resection in difficult cases of mediastinal tumor.
