Abstract

A pleural hemangioma is an extremely rare disease. Few studies have reported on the radiologic appearance of chest wall hemangioma, especially originating from the parietal pleura. We describe a 45-year-old female patient with a soft tissue mass in the parietal pleura showing centripetal enhancement on dynamic CT. The patient underwent surgery and the pathologic examination confirmed the presence of a capillary hemangioma.
