title: Intercostal hemangioma.
abstract: Chest wall tumors are uncommon and there have been only a few reports of intercostal hemangioma during the past 20 years. We treated a 33-year-old man who presented with intercostal hemangioma. We resected tumor and surrounding muscles beyond the limits of the lesion without removing any bone or lung tissue. The patient is free of any recurrence 3 years after surgery.
