Zusammenfassung:	A 62-year-old woman with a middle mediastinal hemangioma was successfully treated using a video-assisted thoracic surgery approach facilitated by segmental rib resection, despite an initial radiological study that showed encasement by the surrounding great vessels. Pathological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma. This approach offers potential resection in difficult cases of mediastinal tumor.
