Abstract

Hemangioma is exceedingly rare in the ribs. A case of rib hemangioma in a 54-year-old woman is presented. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomography revealed a mass in the left lateral costaphrenic sinus with bone destruction. She underwent resection of the 7th and 8th rib. The pathologic diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. Hemangiomas of the rib are rare tumours but should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of rib tumours.
