“…Chest X-ray shows a mass with well-defined sclerotic margins and popcorn-like speckled calcifications that involved and expanded the ribs [ 6 , 7 ]. Ultrasound shows a heterogeneous mass with solid, cystic, and focal calcification components [1] . Chest CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to determine the lesion origins and the relationships with adjacent structures [8] .…”

“…Sometimes, fluid-fluid levels can be detected, suggesting a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst [1] . Some differential diagnoses on imaging include other malignant tumors such as a primary Ewing sarcoma of chest wall, metastases from neuroblastoma, leukemia, and lymphoma, or benign lesion as fibrous dysplasia, hemangioma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis [1] . MCHW may be misdiagnosed with primary bone aneurysm cyst [9] .…”

“…Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a tumor that arises from one or more ribs and affects infant in the perinatal period or in their first years ( 32 , 33 ). Although the most frequent presentation is unilateral and solitary, multiple or bilateral masses have been reported ( 34 ).…”

“…Accurate localization of the mass to the suprarenal region is critical as a large intrathoracic mass can be mistaken for a suprarenal mass. 11 This can be done by tracing the relations of the mass to the hemidiaphragm and noting the presence of surrounding pleural fluid. A mass below the hemidiaphragm that is not surrounded by pleural fluid is suprarenal in location.…”
