Abstract

Chest wall tumors are uncommon, but intercostal hemangioma is even more so: There have been only a handful of reports on it to date. We report on a 32-year-old man with a left-side chest wall mass detected on a chest roentgenogram and computed tomography scans. The tumor was completely resected by means of video-assisted thoracic surgery. Two years after the surgery, the patient is doing well with no evidence of recurrence.
