Chest wall hamartoma is a very rare mass lesion of the chest wall that is manifest at birth or in early infancy with deformity of the thoracic wall and/or varying grades of respiratory distress. The authors report on an 11-month-old infant presenting with chest wall hamartoma who was treated by en bloc excision of the lesion including the involved ribs. They emphasize the importance of early and complete excision of the lesion even in minimally symptomatic patients to avoid lethal respiratory complications, more severe postoperative orthopedic problems, and malignant transformation.
胸壁错构瘤是一种非常罕见的胸壁肿块病变，在出生时或婴儿早期表现为胸壁畸形和/或不同程度的呼吸窘迫。作者报告了一名11个月大患有胸壁错构瘤的婴儿，该婴儿接受了包括受累肋骨在内的病变整块切除治疗。他们强调，即使是症状轻微的患者，早期和完整切除病变也很重要，以避免致命的呼吸并发症、更严重的术后骨科问题和恶变。
