Abstract

Hematoma on the thoracic wall is very rare. We describe here a 63-year-old man with a huge chest wall hematoma and the man had no history of trauma. The patient was found to have a large mass located subjacent to the inferior angle of the right scapula area and the CT and MRI findings were similar to those of an elastofibroma dorsi. We describe the CT and MRI findings of this hematoma and how to make the differential diagnosis from elastofibroma dorsi.

흉벽의 혈종은 매우 드물다. 저자들은 외상의 병력 없이 우측 견갑골 하부에 생기고 탄력섬유종과 비슷한 컴퓨터 단층촬영 및 자기공명영상 소견을 보인 63세 남자환자의 거대 흉벽 혈종을 경험하였기에 탄력섬유종과의 방사선학적 감별점을 중심으로 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
