Mesenchymal hamartoma of chest wall• Rare case• Case report in neonate or early infancy • Single tumor, extrapleural mass, variable in size• Expansile intraosseous lesion, extended to

compress but not involve the underlying lung • Benign lesion which often suggests malignancy• Typical radiologic finding• Diagnosis based on histopathology• Self limit process• Good prognosis

Radiological appearance• CT chest

– Large cystic spaces with fluid levels– Extensive matrix mineralization calcified

soft-tissue mass– Rib expansion and destruction– Aneurysmal bone cyst-like fluid levels– Compression of the underlying lung, with or

without mediastinal shift

Pathologic finding• Grossly: mixed solid and cystic lesion

– Visible cysts with mucoid to bloody contents– Solid areas composed of cartilage, fibrous tissue and bone

• Histology:– Disorganized admixture of disparate but well differentiated skeletal

elements in variably cellular background stroma– Skeletal element :

• Cartilage is abundant• Often : evidence of enchondral ossification or bone trabeculae

Diagnosis

• Typical radiologic finding• Base on : histology

– Fine needle aspiration– Biopsy– Resection

Treatment• Symptomatic patient : surgery• Asymptomatic patient : controversial

– En bloc excision or– Conservative

• Some patients : regressed without definitive surgical excision

• No role of chemotherapy or radiation

Prognosis• Good prognosis• Four deaths are reported

– Three : occurred immediately after birth due to severe respiratory compromise resulting from pulmonary compression by large masses

– One: result of infection after chemotherapy for “embryonal sarcoma” (Diagnosis by FNA)

posterolateral chest wall• CT: mass with some bony density on the Rt anterior chest wall• Microscopic from biopsy specimens: mesenchymal hamartoma• Operative finding: tumor 5x4x3 cm involved the sternum ant

cartilage of ribs 5th-8th , did not invade the lung, diaphragm, or pleura• Operation: total excision and chest wall repaired with a Marlex

mesh• Microscopic review: well circumscribed mass showed typical

features of a mesenchymal hamartoma• Postoperative course : uneventful• F/U 7 years without a local recurrence or evidence of any other

problems• Last CT: 6th rib show residual masses had disappeared, 8th rib had

Mesenchymal hamartoma of chest wall

• 1960s-1970s: reported as other types of tumor: benign mesenchymoma, osteochondrosarcoma, osteochondroma and malignant mesenchymoma

• 1979 McLeod and Dahlin : objected term “ hamartoma ”

• 1986 Odell and Benjamin : first used term “mesenchymal hamartoma”

• Recent report has used the term “aneurysmal bone cyst secondary to infantile cartilaginous hamartoma of rib”
