[Mediastinal Cavernous Hemangioma with Concurrent Primary Lung Cancer Resected by Thoraco scopic Surgery:Report of a Case].
Cavernous hemangiomas of the mediastinum (CHM) are relatively rare, accounting for 0.5% of all mediastinal neoplasms, and they are difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Here, we reported a CHM with a primary lung carcinoma. A 69-year-old female was referred to our hospital. The chest computed tomography( CT) revealed multiple ground glass nodules in the upper and lower lobes of the right lung and an anterior mediastinal mass enhanced heterogeneously. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the right S6 and the mediastinal tumor. A final diagnosis of CHM with concurrent lung adenocarcinoma was made. Cavernous hemangioma should be considered to be concomitant with lung cancer although it is rare.
