Abstract

Mediastinal hemangiomas are extremely rare tumors that originate from vascular endothelial cells. It is well known that mediastinal hemangiomas appear on CT as solid masses with heterogeneous enhancement. We describe here a case of venous hemangioma, and the tumor was seen of the CT scan as a well-marginated cystic mass with a fluid-fluid level in the middle mediastinum; this mass mimicked a foregut cyst or cystic lymphangioma.
