Abstract
Dynamic enhancing feature in mediastinal hemangioma was rarely reported, Sl ow, gradually increasing and prolonged contrast stains are the diagnostic h ints in our case that avoid the hemorrhagic catastrophe from transthoracic core needle biopsy. A rare finding of an aberrant vessel entering into the tumor was valuable for operative planning. Dynamic computed tomography (CT) can provide more information for evaluation in such cases.
