Abstract
We present a rare case of mediastinal capillary hemangioma in a 54-year-old female. She presented with back pain in the left suprascapular region, and the chest radiograph revealed left pleural effusion. On further workup with high-resolution computed tomography (CT) chest, a hypervascular pleural-based neoplastic lesion in the left upper hemithorax with gross left pleural effusion and subtotal collapse of the left lung was identified. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT was suggestive of a weakly metabolic well-defined pleural-based soft tissue lesion in the left upper hemithorax along the mediastinal side. Neuroendocrine tumor was suspected. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was advised, which showed intense uptake in the lesion. The mass was resected completely. Histopathological examination established the final diagnosis as benign vascular tumor consistent with a capillary hemangioma.
