Chest Wall Swelling A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
A haematoma is a collection of blood, usually clotted, outside of a blood vessel that may occur because of an injury to the wall of a blood vessel allowing blood to leak out into tissues where it does not belong. A haemangioma is an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels that may occur in any vascularized tissue. We report a case who presented with chest wall swelling, in which MRI has reported as haemangioma, subsequently patient underwent excision, of the mass. Later histopathological examination revealed it as haematoma. We report this case for its diagnostic dilemma.
