Chest wall deformities are divided as an abnormal development during the growth or those secondary to a congenital malformation. The developmental type is the most common: pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum. The less common are the congenital types of chest wall abnormalities: Poland's syndrome, Jeune's syndrome, espondylothoracic dysplasia, espondylocostal dysplasia and defects of the ribs or sternum. The congenital type usually affects the relationship between the spine, rib cage and the lungs. Therefore, many of these patients will develop a progressive respiratory disturbance of restrictive type known as Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. Thoracic insufficiency syndrome is defining as a deficiency of the rib cage to maintain a normal respiration and to sustain the physiological growth of the lungs. In this article will discuss several conditions that will affect the development and function of the chest wall.

Chest wall mass in infancy is rare. Malignant lesions are more common than infection or benign tumors. This is a case of a 12-month-old girl who presented with a 2 cm mass at the right costal margin and poor weight gain. Chest radiograph demonstrated a moth-eaten osteolytic lesion at the 8th rib. The resection was performed, and a mass with pus content was found. The positive acid fast stain (AFB) organism was noted. Pathology confirmed caseous granulomatous inflammation compatible with mycobacterial infection. However, QuantiFERON-TB Gold was negative, so Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) osteitis is highly suspected. She was treated with antimycobacterium drugs and showed good results. Osteomyelitis can manifest by mimicking bone tumors. Without a biopsy, the pathogen may go undetected. So, interventions such as biopsy are warranted and avoid mass resection without indication. High C-reactive protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), periosteal reaction of radiating spicules, and penumbra sign in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are helpful for discriminating osteomyelitis from bone tumor.
