| Abstract: | A case of mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall in infancy is reported. The presenting symptom was a bulging mass arising from the chest wall. Computed tomography showed the lesion to be multifocal. A large extrathoracic mass was removed and the defect in the chest wall was repaired with a Marlex mesh. Two smaller intrathoracic lesions were observed conservatively and have not enlarged during the past 7 years.Correspondence to: Y. Ishiguro |
