Cavernous hemangioma arising from the diaphragm

Abstract: A 51-year-old man was referred to our hospital with an abnormal nodule in the right lung field. Computed tomography revealed a homogeneous nodule adjacent to the diaphragm, which appeared to be an extrapulmonary lesion. No hilar or mediastinal lymph node swelling was detected, and positron-emission tomography showed no significant uptake. At surgery, 2 red papillary tumors were found, originating from the right diaphragm, and tumor extirpation was performed. The pathological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma.

“…According to this, a complete resection should be recommended. 33,34 Furthermore, other benign diaphragmatic tumors have been reported such as chondroma, 35 schwannoma, 6 haemangioma, 7 neurofibroma, angiofibroma, endothelioma, leiomyoma, or rhabdomyofibroma. 8 The removal of these tumors allows the histologic examination and achieves a good prognosis.…”

“…6 A search of the PubMed V R database identified 10 case reports on diaphragmatic haemangiomas published in English. 3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] A definitive preoperative diagnosis of diaphragmatic haemangioma is difficult to obtain on imaging due to its physiological characteristics. A similar situation exists with other haemangiomas.…”
