Core Tip

Core Tip: Osseous hemangiomas, especially those located in the manubrium, are rare benign tumors. We presented a case suffering from a progressively enlarging mass in the manubrium. Chest computed tomography images showed aggressive appearance and the dynamic magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed progressive centripetal fill-in on the delayed-phase images. The diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma was confirmed after surgery. This uncommon case demonstrates the possible characteristic features of manubrium cavernous hemangioma on dynamic MRI scans.
