Chest, 1994
The chest wall is an uncommon localization for hydatid cyst. In this article, six patients were operated on because of chest wall hydatid cysts between the years 1989 to 1991 have been reported. Four of them had previously undergone surgery for pulmonary or hepatic hydatidosis; the chest wall was the primary site in two patients.

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 1997
Chest wall resection and reconstruction continue to provide a formidable challenge. Prolonged hospitalization of 2 to 3 weeks in often necessary, and patients at our institution have undergone an average of two operations to achieve final closure. However, in multiple reviews of the senior author's personal experience, 85% of patients alive 30 days ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1989
Chest wall injuries range from relatively trivial to fatal flail chest or huge defects. Significant chest wall injury is present in about one third of patients admitted after severe trauma. In management, the principal areas to be considered are pain control, open wounds, pneumothorax, flail chest, and pulmonary contusion.

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2017
Chest wall trauma is common, and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality of trauma patients. Early identification of major chest wall and concomitant intrathoracic injuries is critical. Generalized management of multiple rib fractures and flail chest consists of adequate pain control (including locoregional modalities); management of ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1989
Chest wall deformities are principally depression deformities, the most common being pectus excavatum (funnel chest). The most common protrusion deformity is pectus carinatum (pigeon breast). Pectus carinatum is a cosmetic problem, but its presence can be psychologically devastating to the patient.

Chest Pain and Chest Wall Deformity
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009Chest pain and chest wall deformities are common in children. Although most children with chest pain have a benign diagnosis, some have a serious etiology for pain, so the complaint must be addressed carefully. Unfortunately, there are few prospective studies to evaluate this complaint in children.

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2000
Sufficient trauma to the chest can result in injury to the bony thorax and soft tissues of the chest wall, increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Fractured ribs can lacerate the pleura, lung, or abdominal organs. Fractures to upper ribs, clavicle, and upper sternum can signal brachial plexus or vascular injury.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
To the Editor.— The timely contribution on chest wall syndrome (241:2793, 1979) failed to mention Tietze's disease, which in early stages can be characterized by painful parasternal rib cartilages without notable swelling. This entity, which is found as a cause of unexplained chest wall pain, frequently responds to regional injection of repository ...

Chest wall defects are frequently encountered in all regions of the chest. Initial defect assessment includes evaluation of location, extent, and etiology of the defect. Reconstructive options include flap transposition, tissue expansion, and microvascular composite tissue transplantation.

Chest wall lesions in childhood include a wide range of pathologies. Benign lesions include lipoma, neurofibroma, lymphangioma, haemangioma and mesenchymal hamartoma. Malignant lesions include neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewings sarcoma, Askin tumour and primitive neuroectodermal tumours.
