We present a unique case of intercostal muscle flap (ICMF) ossification mimicking an intrathoracic rib diagnosed 3 years after oesophageal perforation repair. A 58-year-old male presented with complaints of mild chest discomfort. Three years ago he had undergone left thoracotomy and primary repair of post-emetic oesophageal perforation. An ICMF had been used to strengthen the repair. Chest X-ray identified a linear calcific density within the left hemithorax. Subsequent thoracic CT characterized the anomaly as ossification of the ICMF. The lesion had the appearance of a well-differentiated intrathoracic rib coursing through the left lower lobe. We discuss the typical appearances of ossified ICMFs and the potential complications resulting from this ossification.
我们报告了一例独特的肋间肌瓣（ICMF）骨化病例，该病例在食管穿孔修复3年后被诊断为酷似胸内肋骨。一名58岁男性因轻度胸部不适前来就诊。三年前，他接受了左胸切开术及催吐后食管穿孔的一期修复。曾使用ICMF加强修复。胸部X线检查发现左半胸内有一线状钙化密度影。随后的胸部CT检查将该异常特征为ICMF骨化。该病变表现为一条分化良好的胸内肋骨贯穿左下叶。我们讨论了骨化ICMF的典型表现以及这种骨化可能导致的并发症。
