[A case of mediastinal cavernous hemangioma resected through thoracoscope].
A case of mediastinal cavernous hemangioma was reported. An abnormal shadow on the chest X-ray film was pointed out in a 55-year-old male. CT scan and MRI revealed a right posterior mediastinal tumor but did not aid in the final diagnosis. We underwent extirpation of the tumor through thoracoscope and confirmed to be a cavernous hemangioma histologically. No major vascular connections between the tumor and major vessels were found. It was useful of thoracoscopic surgery in this case.
