| Abstract | Background Intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) is an uncommon type of hemangioma, and primary IMH of the intercostal muscle is even rarer. Only a few reports describe IMH of the intercostal muscle, and there are no review articles on this topic. We report our experience with a younger female patient, who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery with tumor resection and review the previous literatures of intercostal IMH. Case presentation An asymptomatic 17-year-old woman showed a 29-mm, homogeneous, intrathoracic nodule in the left chest wall, attached to the second and third ribs on computed tomography. We performed exploratory thoracoscopic surgery and the tumor was excised without surrounding rib resection. Histopathologic examination of the surgical specimen revealed proliferation of small blood vessels within the surrounding striated muscle, leading to the diagnosis of intercostal IMH. The surgical margin was negative. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and there has been no evidence of recurrence for more than 18 months after surgery. Conclusions We describe a case of intercostal IMH, who received tumor resection with clear excision margin without surrounding rib resection. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its rarity, but intercostal IMH should be recalled as a differential diagnosis of chest wall tumor. Tumor excision without surrounding rib resection is acceptable for intercostal IMH, when there is a good possibility of achieving negative surgical margin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
