Thoracoscopic resection of a cavernous haemangioma of anterior mediastinum: case report and literature review.

Mediastinal haemangiomas, a rare type of mediastinal tumour, are typically benign and located in the anterior mediastinum, and lack specific symptoms and relevant imaging features. We found that minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection provided a satisfactory view and facilitated correct handling of a mediastinal cavernous haemangioma. Although such tumours are mostly benign and the prognosis is good, we recommend aggressive surgical management to avoid missing malignant lesions.
