Mediastinal hemangiomas are rare tumors, with an incidence of 0.5% or less. We herein present a case of venous hemangioma in the anterior mediastinum. A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyspnea. Computed tomography scan of the thorax showed a 2.5 × 3.2 × 2 cm mass in the anterior mediastinum. Using a median sternotomy approach, the tumor was completely removed. Pathological examination confirmed a venous hemangioma.

Vascular anomalies are broadly classified into 2 categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Vascular anomalies frequently present as cutaneous lesions in infants. This review summarizes vascular anomalies that most commonly present as dermatologic lesions in the neonatal period, with a focus on the clinical findings, pathophysiology and histology, relevant radiographic findings, and management of common vascular anomalies such as infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas, and Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, along with vascular malformations, including capillary, lymphatic, venous, and arteriovenous malformations.

Background: Liver hemangiomas (HGs) are characterized by cavernous venous spaces delineated by a lining of vascular endothelial cells and interspersed with connective tissue septa. Typically, a liver HG has higher apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2 values than those of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and liver metastases, and lower ADC and T2 values than those of liver simple cysts. However, a portion of HGs shows ADC and T2 overlapping with those of HCC, liver metastasis, and simple cyst.

Cholangiolocellular carcinoma, a subtype of peripheral-type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, is a relatively rare primary liver tumor. This case report describes a patient with cholangiolocellular carcinoma that was initially misdiagnosed as hemangioma, and ultimately underwent complete tumor resection after a seven-year follow-up period. A 72-year-old female patient with a history of chronic hepatitis C was followed up regularly at the hospital.

The role of the hematologist in the management of vascular anomalies is evolving. Several vascular tumors and malformations are associated with complex coagulation derangements. Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma or tufted angiomas may present with a consumptive coagulopathy known as the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP).
