Abstract

Hemangiomas affecting the chest wall are rare. The literature suggests sporadic cases of these chest wall tumors. We report in this paper a very rare subtype of intercostal hemangiomas (mixed subtype). We describe the physical, clinical, imaging and pathology findings as well as the surgical therapeuthic procedure. In addition we review the literature for similar cases reported.
