Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors. Their location in the mediastinum represents a very rare finding. The definite diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make due to nonspecific features on single-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. Our case shows a 53-year-old male that had presented with chest pain and dyspnea. On the dynamic CT study, there was a mediastinal mass that showed peripheral nodular enhancement on early phase images and progressive centripetal fill-in on delayed phase images. Hemangioma was preoperatively diagnosed on the basis of this characteristic CT appearance.
