“…Therefore, most reported congenital MHCW have been diagnosed postnatally, except in a few cases in which fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT was used. 3 The difficulty of differential diagnosis is because the prenatal characteristics have not been verified thoroughly yet due to its rarity. In addition, ultrasound manifestations of fetal MHCW could be unfamiliar to most examiners because radiologic examination of the thorax in infancy depends on CT or MRI.…”

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a rare, benign lesion that arises from one or more ribs, almost exclusively found in infants. Some cases that developed in the fetal period have been reported, but accurate diagnosis was usually possible only after birth, except in a few cases in which fetal magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography were performed. We present a case of a congenital mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall. Although the diagnosis was not confirmed until birth, the prenatal sonographic examination showed strongly suggestive findings. We review the published reports on this condition, and suggest the prenatal sonographic features. Prenatal sonography is valuable in the differential diagnosis of chest mass.

“…MH arises from the ribs and forms a subcutaneous mass along the chest wall in the neonatal period or infancy. The vast majority of such cases are located on the chest wall, arise in the ribs and are often noted by swelling of the chest wall or detected incidentally by a chest radiograph [ 2 ].…”
