Popis: A 59-year-old man with an enlarged left chest wall mass that had been followed up for 3 years underwent surgical resection. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma of the rib. This is the fourth case of this rare disease to be reported. However, it suggests that hemangioma of the rib should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rib tumors, especially in asymptomatic patients.
