[Venous hemangioma of the mediastinum: apropos of a case]

A case of mediastinal venous hemangioma is reported. It's a benign tumor rarely found in the mediastinum. In the last six years, we only know three cases reported and none of them in our country. Clinical manifestations were cough and pleuritic pain. The diagnosis was suggested by radiologic examination and was confirmed by histologic study after thoracotomy. The mass was totally removed surgically and the evolution of the patient was favorable.
