Abstract

Benign vasküler tümörler nadiren mediastene yerleşir. Mediastinal hemanjiom mediastenin en sık görülen vasküler tümörü olmasına rağmen tüm mediastinal tümörlerin %0.5'inden daha azını oluşturur. Mediastinal hemanjiomlar herhangi bir yaş grubunda görülebilir. Bununla birlikte olguların yarısı 20 yaşından daha küçüktür. Literatürde yenidoğanda mediastinal kavernöz hemanjiom çok nadir bildirilmiştir. Prenatal ultrasonografide mediastinal kitle saptanan miadında doğmuş 3500 gram ağırlığındaki bir kız çocuğu postoperatif kliniğimize yatırıldı. Üçüncü haftada sol posterolateral torakotomi ile mediastinal kitle rezeke edildi. Patoloji sonucu kavernöz hemanjiom olarak bildirilen olgu literatür ışığında sunuldu.
