A 24-year-old man presented with rapidly progressive dyspnea due to mixed aortic stenosis and insufficiency. Unicommissural unicuspid aortic valve, ascending aortic aneurysm, and a bovine arch were identified on computed tomography angiography. Uncomplicated surgical mechanical valve replacement and ascending aortic graft placement improved his symptoms. Aortopathy is common in unicuspid valve patients.

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.

Abstract Aim We aim to present here a case of a painless anterior chest wall mass which was first noted during routine follow up post coronary artery bypass graft surgery Case presentation An 80-year-old male developed an asymptomatic slow growing pronounced swelling over the right anterior chest wall post CABG. His other past medical history includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, ischaemic heart disease, an AICD for complete heart block, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and osteoarthritis. A CT scan demonstrated a 10 x 12 x 6.5 cm subcutaneous lesion at the mid-line of the lower chest wall adjacent to the xiphisternum and the previous sternotomy site. On clinical examination there was a large non-tender cystic swelling with peripheral calcifications, but overlying skin was normal. Fluid was aspirated from the lesion and cytology showed a paucicellular specimen with features in keeping with seroma. Due to the progressive increase in size patient underwent surgical resection. A gelatinous bloody fluid was aspirated from the lesion and it was then resected enbloc. The tumour base appeared to arise from 6/7th costal cartilage and tumour was shaved away. The mass was confirmed histologically to be chondrosarcoma. Conclusions Given the uncommon prevalence of malignant primary chest wall tumours this case highlights the importance of high clinical suspicion even after developing post CABG.
