Core Tip Diaphragmatic hemangioma is rare, and its diagnosis is challenging. We present the case of a 40-year-old man with incidental abnormal findings in chest imaging studies. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a poor enhancing lesion in the right basal lung, abutting to the diaphragm. Three-dimensional (3D) image simulation revealed a supra-diaphragmatic tumor. Successful tumor resection followed by primary repair of diaphragm was performed via minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery. The pathological findings confirmed a primary cavernous hemangioma of diaphragm. In this rare case of diaphragmatic hemangioma, 3D image simulation was helpful for the preoperative evaluation and surgical decision making.
