Abstract
A 38-year-old woman presented with an expansile lesion of the sternum. Plain film tomograms and computed tomography showed an expansile lesion of the sternum. Bone scanning revealed increased uptake in the sternum. The neoplasm was surgically excised and proved to be a hemangioma (Fig. 4a) and 4b). The rarity of this neoplasm in the sternum was stressed. An extensive search of the literature failed to reveal a single previous report of a sternal hemangioma. A differential list of other primary benign and malignant sternal tumors was presented.
