Capillary hemangioma is a common benign tumor which can occur everywhere in the whole body, however its occurrence in posterior mediastinum is extremely rare, and to the best of our knowledge less than 20 cases have been reported in the English literature so far. Here in we report a 65-year-old lady who presented with prolonged cough and diagnosed to have a posterior mediastinal mass. Before operation, according to the site of tumor, it has been diagnosed as neurofibroma. It is very important to consider hemangioma before operation to reduce surgical complications, and it should be in the differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal masses.
毛细血管瘤是一种常见的良性肿瘤，可发生于全身各处，然而其发生于后纵隔极为罕见，据我们所知，迄今为止英文文献报道的病例不足20例。在此我们报告一位65岁女性，因长期咳嗽就诊，诊断为后纵隔肿块。术前根据肿瘤部位诊断为神经纤维瘤。术前考虑毛细血管瘤以减少手术并发症非常重要，其应列入后纵隔肿块的鉴别诊断。
