“…2 Diaphragmatic tumors show various symptoms depending on their pathological features. [1][2][3][4] It is still very diffi cult to make a correct diagnosis of diaphragmatic tumors without performing a biopsy, even with the latest imaging modalities. 3 This report presents a case of a diaphragmatic tumor, which was successfully diagnosed and treated by minimally invasive surgery.…”

A rare primary diaphragmatic hemangioma successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery: Report of a case

et al. 2010

This report presents a very rare case of a primary diaphragmatic hemangioma, which was successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. A 64-year-old man with a left diaphragmatic mass without any significant symptoms was treated by laparoscopic surgery and thus was diagnosed to have a diaphragmatic hemangioma following a pathological examination. Laparoscopic treatment in the deep and narrow abdominal spaces such as the diaphragmatic region is very useful as a less invasive treatment, as well as providing an excellent observation from which to make an accurate diagnosis.

“…Primary malignant diaphragm tumors include fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, hemangioendotherioma, fibromyosarcoma, myosarcoma and neurofibrosarcoma ( 1 ). However, tissue types not normally found in the diaphragm may also produce benign diaphragm tumors, which include adrenal cortical adenoma, liver cell adenoma, chondroma, hamartomaand mesothelioma (2). Benign and malignant fibrous tumors arise from the parietal pleura of the diaphragm (3).…”

“…The diaphragm can be a target of direct and distant metastases from internal malignancies. These malignancies directly invade the diaphragm, although blood borne metastatic implants are rare (2). The symptoms of malignant diaphragm tumors are not specific, and even in patients with malignant diaphragm tumors, pre-mortem diagnosis of the diaphragm invasion is infrequent.…”

A 31-year-old womanvisited an out-patient clinic, because of low-grade fever and general fatigue. She was referred to our hospital and admitted for examination of an abnormal shadow which had been found on the chest radiograph. She had experienced faint right lateral chest pain several times on the deep inspirations. Chest radiography showeda mass shadowwith calcification in the right lower lung field on the mediastinal side. Chest radiographic computed tomography showed a 6x6 cm tumor in the right lung field. There were low-density areas with septae inside the tumor. Bone scintigraphy showed extremely high uptake of "mTc-HMDP in the tumor. After surgical resection and pathological examination, we concluded that the tumor was an extensively calcified benign hemangiomaof the diaphragm. (Internal Medicine 39: 576-578, 2000)
