Abstract

A case report of lymphangiohemangioma of the mediastinum that was misdiagnosed as thymic origin mass on chest CT and MR angiography. Operative finding revealed vascular proliferation originated from innominate vein and the pathologic finding showed both lymphatic and vascular component which was diagnosed lymphangiohemangioma.

종격동에 발생한 림프혈관종은 아주 드문 질환으로 수술 전 컴퓨터 단층촬영과 자기공명 혈관촬영상 흉선 기원 종양으로 오인된 환자의 수술 소견상 무명정맥에서 기인하는 혈관조직의 증식을 보였다. 병리검사상 림프조직과 혈관조직을 모두를 보여 림프혈관종으로 진단하였다.
