Abstract
|
|
|
Chest wall hamartoma is a very rare disease.
The female infant was suffered from frequent upper respiratory infection. The chest AP revealed destruction of the ribs and widening of the intercostal space. Chest CT demonstrated well-defined solid and cystic extrapleural mass. Chest MRI
revealed
high
signal and low signal intensities in the mass.
In December, 1995, she underwent excision of the mass with partial resection of the ribs and chest wall reconstruction with thick Gortex patch.
The chest wall hamartoma was confirmed with histopathological examination. The postop course was smooth and uneventful.
