CTICasesChest Wall Cavernous Hemangioma
Imaging findings
CT and sagittal reformats show a large, vascular mass arising from the anterior chest wall, projecting into the thoracic cavity and compressing the mediastinum. The mass contains large feeding vessels originating from the internal mammary arteries.
Key takeaways
Cavernous hemangiomas of the chest wall are rare benign vascular tumors. They can grow slowly over years and parasitize blood flow from internal mammary or intercostal arteries, mimicking malignant chest wall tumors.
