Chest Wall Mass

Empyema necessitans (EN) is a rare but dangerous complication of a lower respiratory tract infection. The diagnosis can be difficult to make and therefore delayed. We describe a case of a child with an atypical presentation of EN. He was afebrile and without chest pain and presented with a palpable chest wall mass after a history of recent respiratory infection. The threshold of suspicion for EN should be low, and it must be suspected in all children with a chest wall mass and recent history of respiratory infection.

Chest Wall Mass

Clinical introductionA 24-year-old Filipino man attended the ED with a 1-month history of a discrete swelling over his upper anterior chest wall that was rapidly increasing in size and tenderness. He denied any other symptoms. His medical history was unremarkable.Examination revealed a tender, 7 cm × 6 cm mass over the upper part of the sternum (figure 1). The surface was smooth, it was immobile, non-compressible and the overlying skin was normothermic but mildly erythematous. Cervical lymphadenopathy was present. His vital signs were normal.Figure 1Chest wall mass.QuestionWhat is the most likely diagnosis?LipomaChondrosarcomaLymphomaMycobacterium tuberculosis (TB)

The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap is a reliable regional flap commonly used for the reconstruction of head and neck defects. We report a case of a squamous cell carcinoma that occurred on the cutaneous paddle of a pectoralis flap in a patient with previous chest wall lesions. The need for a careful history of previous chest wall cutaneous lesions is stressed in patients who are to undergo this type of reconstruction.

Previous Irradiation

Patients undergoing two-stage breast reconstruction with tissue expander and a history of previous irradiation are predisposed to a various chest-wall deformations more than non-irradiated patients. If chest-wall depression with/without rib fracture is found intra-operatively, bigger implant should be used, with a subsequent radiologic evaluation. In the future, the development of a new, modified expander with a harder base could minimise such complications.

Warfarin- induced spontaneous breast hematoma is a very rare disease, with only a few cases having been reported in the literature so far. We describe an 80-year-old woman who had warfarin therapy due to deep vein thrombosis in a lower extremity. The patient was admitted with a history of swelling and red area on her bilateral breasts, chest wall, right arm, and right flank. She was treated conservatively with success. She was discharged after about 3 weeks without complications and was well at 6 months’ follow-up.
