Abstract

An occurrence of hemangioma in the mediastinum is a very rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of mediastinal tumors. Capillary hemangiomas and cavernous hemangiomas consists of over 90% of mediastinal hemangiomas. However, venous hemangioma has never been reported in South Korea and has also very rarely been reported worldwide. We found mediastinal solid mass, as an incidental finding during a follow-up chest CT scan of a 44-year-old female patient who had undergone colon cancer surgery. We performed a mediastinoscopic biopsy. We did a thoracotomy to remove this mass because hemorrhage and found a totally resected venous hemangioma.

종격동에 발생하는 혈관종은 전체 종격동 종양의 0.5% 이하로 드문 양성 질환이다. 이중 모세관혈관종과 해면혈관종이 90% 이상을 차지하고 정맥혈관종은 국내에선 보고된바 없으며 세계적으로도 보고된 예가 드물다. 44세 여자 환자가 대장암 수술 후 추적관찰을 위해 시행한 흉부 전산화 단층촬영상 종격동 종괴가 우연히 발견 되었다. 우리는 이를 고형체로 의심하고 종격 내시경하 조직검사를 시행하던 중 출혈이 발생하여 개흉술로 전환한 후 완전 절제한 정맥 혈관종을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
