“…The congenital origin is the most common cause and this is supported by the early documentation during life. Scott theorized that abnormal embryonic sequestration may extend by establishing blood flow in fresh parts of a pre-existing malformation [11]. In addition to that, Hereditary does not seem to have a role since no two cases have been reported in the same family.…”

Hemangioma is a congenital vascular malformation that occurs commonly in the skin and soft tissues of younger individuals but rarely in the bone. The term hemangioma occurring in bone has been referred to as venous bony malformation also. In these rare cases, vertebral bodies occur more often, followed by the craniofacial skeleton and long bones. Most rib tumors are malignant, and hemangiomas of the rib tend to grow expansively and disrupt the cortex. Venous malformations in ribs are not tumors but can be misdiagnosed as aggressive tumors or infectious processes. In fact, hemangioma of bone is a locally aggressive benign vascular malformation associated with a good prognosis. To date, no more than 50 cases of rib hemangiomas have been described in the English literature. This report presents a case of an asymptomatic 27-year-old female patient who found a quail egg-sized lump on the right side of her chest that was the size of a cocoon 2 months prior. Then, the lump grew rapidly to the size of an egg when she presented to the hospital. Because of its worrisome histomorphologic features and aggressive clinical radiologic findings, it was once misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor by most doctors. However, the pathological results after the operation confirmed rib hemangioma. Therefore, this case report aims to share this particular case so that more doctors can better understand the particularity of this disease’s progression.

“…On CT, rib hemangioma often shows three features, i.e. bone disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone ( 2 – 23 ) ( Table 1 ). Nineteen of the 24 hemangiomas showed bone disruption and 18 of the 24 hemangiomas showed extraosseous lesions.…”

Hemangioma of the rib showing a relatively high 18F-FDG uptake: a case report with a literature review

Hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign tumor that is often difficult to distinguish from malignant bone tumors. Rib hemangioma often shows bony disruption with a slight cortical disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone on computed tomography (CT). We report the case of a 68-year-old man with atypical rib hemangioma with a slight cortical disruption and no expanded bone. The tumor showed relatively high 18FDG-uptake on positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Rib hemangioma often shows higher 18FDG-uptake. PET/CT may not provide useful information for distinguishing rib hemangioma from a malignant tumor. Close observation without surgical resection may be feasible if the tumor is diagnosed as a rib hemangioma by biopsy.
