ABSTRACT
A 35-year-old female complaining of a painful huge right posterior chest wall mass was admitted. Chest computed tomography showed the pleural invasion of mass and deformed ribs. Suspected diagnosis was hemangioma. Entire mass was removed carefully and pleural biopsy was performed. The operation was finished after bleeding control and chest tube insertion. The mass was diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma histopathologically. Cavernous hemangioma of chest wall is a rare benign vascular tumor. Surgical operation of hemangioma demands meticulous bleeding control because of risk of hemorrhage.
