Pathology of the thoracic wall: congenital and acquired

Pilar García-Peña et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2010 Jun.

Abstract

This review aims to cover the main congenital and acquired lesions that arise in the thoracic wall of infants and children. Imaging often plays an essential role in the evaluation of symptomatic and asymptomatic thoracic wall abnormalities. The use of appropriate imaging modalities for each condition will be addressed, as well as the range of benign and malignant conditions that can occur.
