Contrast-enhanced chest CT described an anterior superior mediastinal\nmass, approximately 2.5cm in diameter, with centripetal enhancement and an increased range of\nenhancement in the delayed period. The tumor and thymus were completely resected by video-assisted\nthoracic surgery (VATS) to provide a definitive diagnosis and precise treatment. Postoperative pathology\nsuggested that the tumor was a thymus cavernous hemangioma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We reported an extremely uncommon case of CH in the thymus and reviewed the previously\npublished literature. CH can occur at any age and body tissue, and there is no significant difference\nbetween males and females. Most patients are asymptomatic, often found by chest CT. Enhanced\nchest CT suggested that an increased area of venous enhancement at a prolonged duration may be a\nfeature of CH. Complete surgical resection is a safe and effective method for CH in the thymus.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1573405619666230109121128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T05:45:03Z","timestamp":1673329503000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diagnostic Challenge and Management of Thymic Cavernous Hemangioma:\nA Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Li","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Lishui Municipal Central Hospital, Lishui, Zhejiang 323000, P.R.
