Multiple Cavernous Hemangiomas of the Posterior Mediastinum, Lung, and Liver: A Case Report

A 71-year-old male patient visited Yeungnam University Hospital with abnormal chest computed tomography (CT) findings. Chest CT revealed multiple lung nodules and a posterior mediastinal tumor, the diagnosis of which was confirmed surgically. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen showed mu...

description A 71-year-old male patient visited Yeungnam University Hospital with abnormal chest computed tomography (CT) findings. Chest CT revealed multiple lung nodules and a posterior mediastinal tumor, the diagnosis of which was confirmed surgically. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen showed multiple small nodules, which were diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma in the liver based on the pathology results of the mediastinal and lung masses in combination with MRI findings. Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumors that can occur throughout the body, mainly in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The liver is the most common internal organ containing hemangiomas, whereas they are very rarely found in the lungs or mediastinum.
