Hemangiomas are uncommon benign tumors of the mediastinum. The definite diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make because of usually nonspecific features on single-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. We described a 60-year-old woman suffering from a neck mass with progressive enlargement. On the dynamic CT study, the tumor 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.
