PULMONARY CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA ( PCH ) : A CASE REPORT

We report a rare case of pulmonary cavernous hemangioma in a 58-year-old male. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest showed an ill-defined mass in the right upper lobe. Thoracoscopic assisted resection of upper and lower lobe of the right lung was done and postoperative pathological examination revealed cavernous hemangioma. We reviewed the clinical features, CT findings and therapeutic methods of hemangioma.
