Intraosseous hemangioma in a rib is extremely rare, and most of the few reported cases are of the cavernous subtype. First we describe a capillary hemangioma arising from a rib in a 64-year-old woman that developed into a large, one-sided pleural effusion during the course of a 3-year follow-up. In addition to the life-threatening condition, the tumor demonstrated malignant imaging features such as a sunburst-like appearance or cortical disruption on plain roentgenogram and computed tomography. This case report adds to the literature on a serious complication and also discusses the diagnosis and management of this rare disease.
肋骨骨内血管瘤极为罕见，少数已报道的病例多为海绵状亚型。首先，我们描述了一名 64 岁女性肋骨处的毛细血管状血管瘤，在 3 年的随访过程中发展成单侧大量胸腔积液。除了危及生命的情况外，肿瘤还表现出恶性影像学特征，如平片和 CT 上的放射状外观或皮质破坏。本病例报告增加了对这种严重并发症的文献记载，并讨论了这种罕见疾病的诊断和治疗。
