Abstract

Skeletal muscle hemangiomas are uncommonly described in a variety of locations. This report details the diagnosis and management of a 39-year-old woman with a right chest wall mass detected on physical examination. After a negative diagnostic evaluation, exploratory thoracotomy revealed an intercostal hemangioma, undescribed in recent literature. The lesion was excised.
