Abstract

Benign vascular tumors are rarely seen in the mediastinum and mediastinal hemangioma is the most common one among them. However, its prevalence is less than 0.5% among all mediastinal tumors. Mediastinal hemangiomas are typically seen in the younger age group. Approximately 75% of cases occur before age 35. These tumors are usually well-circumscribed and they rarely display invasive behaviors. Symptoms develop due to the compression of the neighboring mediastinal structures. A mediastinal mass in a 70-year-old female patient, who had the complaints of dorsalgia and cough, was totally excised by performing a thoracotomy. Pathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. Due to the rarity and late diagnosis of the entity we present this case with its chest computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Özet

İyi huylu vasküler tümörler, mediastende nadir olup mediastinal hemanjiyom aralarında en sık görülenidir. Bununla birlikte, tüm mediastinal tümörler içerisinde sıklığı %0.5’ten azdır. Mediastinal hemanjiyom tipik olarak genç yaş grubunda görülür. Yaklaşık %75’i 35 yaştan önce ortaya çıkar. Bu tümörler genelde iyi sınırlıdırlar ve nadiren invazif davranış gösterirler. Hastaların çoğunda görülen semptomlar kitlenin çevre mediastinal yapıları kompresyona uğratmasına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkar. Sırt ağrısı ve öksürük şikayetleri olan yetmiş yaşındaki kadın hastanın, mediasten ile ilişkili kitlesi torakotomi ile total eksize edildi. Patoloji sonucu kavernöz hemanjiyom olarak raporlandı. Nadir görülmesi ve geç fark edilmesi nedeni ile olgu, toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları eşliğinde sunuldu.
