|
Primary leiomyoma of the chest wall is extremely rare. A 13-month-old boy presented to outpatient clinic of the department of pediatrics with a soft, movable, and palpable mass in the right supraclavicular area. Neck computed tomography revealed a 2.5-cm-sized soft tissue mass in the right anterior supraclavicular area. The mass was completely resected, and histopathological examination showed a localized primary leiomyoma with cystic change. The patient was followed up and has been disease-free for more than 11 months since surgery. To the best of our knowledge, 13 cases of leiomyoma of the chest wall have been reported to date, but this is the second case of primary leiomyoma of the chest wall in a pediatric patient. This report describes the clinical course of this case and presents a review of relevant literature.
