Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a rare benign tumor that usually occurs in infants and children. The clinical presentations and imaging features are atypical and difficult to differentiate from malignant tumors. In this article, we present a case with a large mesenchymal hamartoma tumor of the chest wall. A large right-sided chest wall mass was discovered in a 6-month-old boy by his mother. Chest X-ray revealed a thoracic mass with well-defined margins on the right side that expanded into the right ribs. Chest computed tomography showed that the mass originated from the thoracic wall. The patient underwent complete removal of the mass, and histopathology results confirmed a mesenchymal hamartoma.
胸壁间叶性错构瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，通常发生于婴幼儿。其临床表现和影像学特征不典型，难以与恶性肿瘤相鉴别。在本文中，我们报道了一例巨大胸壁间叶性错构瘤病例。一名6个月大男婴的母亲发现其右侧胸壁有一巨大肿块。胸部X线检查显示右侧胸腔有一边界清晰的肿块，延伸至右侧肋骨。胸部计算机断层扫描显示肿块起源于胸壁。患者接受了肿块完整切除，组织病理学结果证实为间叶性错构瘤。
