High levels of clinical improvement and patient satisfaction were found following total sesamoidectomy. No deleterious consequences of sesamoid removal were observed. For symptomatic patients where a joint replacement/fusion is not indicated, total sesamoidectomy was beneficial as an interim procedure, for joints with a moderate (grades 2 to 3) degree of arthrosis.

Plain chest radiographs revealed a well-defined radiolucent mass on left lower thorax just above the diaphragm. CT scan demonstrated a pleural-based mass of fat density contain ing streaks of increased density. The mass was removed by surgery and confirmed as lipoblastoma arised from costal pleura.
