We report the rare case of a 2.5 cm in size mass diagnostic for residual thymus associated with venous vascular malformation (ISSVA classification, 2008) in a 58 years old man. Diagnosis was obtained only after surgical removal that was complicated by a sudden massive bleeding (about 1,500 cc) requiring emergency conversion to median sternotomy. Difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, rarity of histologic pattern, and surgical challenges make this case very interesting for surgeons, pathologists and radiologist. Our message, dealing with mediastinal masses, is: (a) differential diagnosis between the more frequent solid antero-superior mediastinal tumors and vascular malformation should be always considered (b) preoperative angiography should always be performed in case of uncertain diagnosis (c) coil embolization should always be considered to reduce potentially fatal bleeding (d) histologic differentiation with other thymic neoplasms must be always considered.

SummaryWith the term „hemangioma” different vascular anomalies are described. Here one has to discriminate the congenital vascular tumours from the vascular anomalies. But for a clear indication a definite classification is necessary. Basis is the actual ISSVA classification. In the latest version they have incorporated the embryological aspects of the Hamburg Classification. Especially in the vasculogenetic (″extratruncular″) malformations one found increasing genetic defects. Here is an overlap to the neuro-ectodermal syndromes. By this, common therapeutic strategies are in progress.
