Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and manifest as a non-specific mediastinal mass on radiologic exploration. We report herein two cases of mediastinal haemangioma (MH), the first was a 63 year-old man with a MH in the posterior mediastinum, and the second was a 53 year-old man with a left paracardiac haemangioma. Surgical removal was successful and the follow-up was free four years after surgery. |
