J Cancer Res Ther. 2020 Jul-Sep;16(4):938-940. doi: 10.4103/jcrt.JCRT_357_19.

Abstract

We report the very rare case of recurrent unilateral pleural effusion in a 53-year-old male. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left-sided paravertebral mass at D3 level. Multiple biopsy and CT scan lead us to the diagnosis of "Angiomatous Malformation." The lesion was excised surgically which on final histopathological report termed hemangioma.

Keywords: Effusion; hemangiomas; pleural; surgery; thoracic.
