“…Abscess formation, destruction of articular cartilage and sinus tract formation is well depicted by MRI. These findings are not visualized on radiography until destruction is advanced [8]. Shah et al [9], suggested that all the modalities compliment each other though MRI is better in detecting marrow involvement and delineating the soft tissue involvement.…”

“…12 Malignant lesions can often be differentiated from benign lesions on CT scan as they frequently contain characteristic necrotic low-density areas and bony destruction. 13 If there is doubt whether a chest wall lesion is benign or malignant after performing a detailed history and physical exam, as well as reviewing imaging, histologic examination is required. There are 3 options while considering biopsy of a chest wall lesion: needle biopsy, excisional biopsy, and incisional biopsy.…”

The most common indications for chest wall resection include tumor (primary, recurrent, metastatic, or locally invasive), infection, trauma, and radiation necrosis. The key elements of the management of such lesions include resection of a full thickness area of chest wall followed by reconstruction of the skeletal defect and overlying soft tissue. The indications and techniques of management of chest wall lesions are discussed in this study.

“…3 Chest wall abscesses and sinus tract formation occur in about 25% of cases. 4 The presentation may be similar to that of a pyogenic abscess or simply an enlarging mass. 5 When an abscess develops, sonographically, a heterogeneous hypoechoic mass with irregular borders appears in the chest wall ( Figure 4).…”

Objective. The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the sonographic findings of chest wall lesions that were depicted on breast sonography. Methods. Chest wall lesions detected during breast sonography were collected and reviewed retrospectively. Results. The sonographic findings of normal chest walls and various pathologic chest wall lesions, including inflammatory lesions, benign neoplasms, and malignant neoplasms, are discussed. Conclusions. Familiarity with normal sonographic anatomy and chest wall lesions could be helpful in differentiating a chest wall lesion from a breast lesion and in showing whether the origin of any palpable breast lump is in the breast parenchyma or the chest wall on breast sonography.
