A 71-year-old male patient visited Yeungnam University Hospital with abnormal chest computed tomography (CT) findings. Chest CT revealed multiple lung nodules and a posterior mediastinal tumor, the diagnosis of which was confirmed surgically. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen showed multiple small nodules, which were diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma in the liver based on the pathology results of the mediastinal and lung masses in combination with MRI findings. Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumors that can occur throughout the body, mainly in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The liver is the most common internal organ containing hemangiomas, whereas they are very rarely found in the lungs or mediastinum.
一名71岁男性患者因胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）结果异常就诊于岭南大学医院。胸部CT显示多个肺结节和一个后纵隔肿瘤，手术确诊。腹部磁共振成像（MRI）显示多个小结节，结合纵隔和肺部肿块的病理结果及MRI表现，诊断为肝脏海绵状血管瘤。海绵状血管瘤是一种可发生于全身的良性肿瘤，主要见于皮肤和皮下组织。肝脏是最常见的含有血管瘤的内脏器官，而在肺部或纵隔中则非常罕见。
