The diagnosis and treatment of massive hemoptysis remain challenging. We report a 28-year-old woman with refractory massive hemoptysis caused by a mediastinal hemangioma. Despite multiple bronchial artery embolizations and fiberoptic bronchoscopy treatments, effective control of the bleeding and clearing of the airway was not possible. Finally, with the support of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, mediastinal hemangioma resection and right upper lobe sleeve resection were simultaneously performed. During the operation, many blood clots in the airway were removed. The airway bleeding was effectively controlled, and the patient recovered.

Pulmonary cavernous hemangioma: a case report.
BMC Pulm Med
January 2025
Department of Medical Imaging, Baoji Central Hospital, Baoji, China.
Background: Cavernous hemangiomas can occur in various internal organs like the liver, kidney, bladder, and skin, or even in subcutaneous tissues. However, they rarely occur in the lungs, making pulmonary cavernous hemangiomas (PCH) an uncommon finding. Herein, we report a rare case of pulmonary cavernous hemangioma that was surgically resected.

From the Department of Nuclear Medicine.
Purpose: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-04 (FAPI) in comparison to 68Ga-DOTATATE (SSTR) PET/CT for patients presenting with recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
Patients And Methods: Sixteen MTC patients with elevated calcitonin levels (>150 pg/mL) underwent FAPI and SSTR PET/CT. Two nuclear medicine physicians evaluated all images, categorizing lesions into locoregional metastases, mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs), liver, and bone metastases.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma prognosis and outcome: report of two challenging cases.
J Cardiothorac Surg
December 2024
Thoracic and Vascular Surgery Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Background: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an uncommon vascular malignancy characterized by an unpredictable clinical course and a high potential for recurrence and metastasis. The lack of standard treatment guidelines, coupled with the tumor's inconsistent response to available treatments, complicates the management of EHE and leads to widely varying patient prognoses.
Case Presentation: We report two cases of EHE with distinct presentations reflecting the site of involvement.
Rare posterior mediastinal hemangiomas invading the spinal cord through the intervertebral foramen and causing acute symptoms: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Wuhou District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Hemangioma is a rare vascular tumor characterized by endothelial cell proliferation that primarily occurs in soft tissues. While most cases in the paraspinal posterior mediastinum are clinically indolent, they can also exhibit aggressive growth, leading to severe clinical outcomes and necessitating urgent treatment.
Observations: A 61-year-old right-handed female presented with reduced lower-extremity mobility that had begun 4 days earlier.
