Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms of vascular origin that can affect any part of the body and may originate as a primary tumor of the thoracic wall, an already rare entity. The epidemiology of these tumors is unknown. This report presents the case of a 33-year-old man with a fibroelastic mass in the infra-axillary region, painless, with a three-year growth history, presenting with pain and paresthesia in the left upper limb. He denied comorbidities, weight loss, or other symptoms. Imaging exams were performed to assess the tumor, followed by surgical resection. The anatomopathological result revealed a cavernous hemangioma with clear margins. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications.
