“…In few cases, the initial diagnosis was of osteochondroma 12,17 . MHCW may quite often resemble benign chondroblastoma or osteoblastoma, as was observed in our case and in some other cases 1,5,7,8,18 . The presence of many vascular spaces may also suggest an aneurysmal bone cyst 1,3,5,8,12 .…”

“…The cartilage component showed chondroblastoma-like cell proliferation with typical "chicken-wire"-type calcifications to mature hyaline cartilage. The resemblance to chondroblastoma of bone led Kadell et al [14] to report a lesion as a "congenital atypical benign chondroblastoma" of a rib.…”

Mesenchymal hamartoma of chest-wall is a rare benign lesion that has varied histological characteristics and usually occurs during early infancy. We report the histological characteristics of mesenchymal hamartoma found in five patients aged respectively 25 days, 5 months, 8 months, and 4 and 8 years at presentation. Two patients presented with respiratory distress, two with an asymptomatic chest-wall mass, and one with a deformity of the left chest wall. Surgical resection was performed on four patients and a biopsy only in one patient. Overall, the tumors were well delineated, lobulated, tan to reddish in color, and on section showed blood-filled cystic spaces with interspersed small islands of cartilage and fibrous tissue. Histological analyses demonstrated mixtures of bone trabeculae with spindle-cell stroma, chondroblast-like proliferation, mature and immature hyaline cartilage, and aneurysmal bone cyst formation. All patients are alive and well without evidence of disease. Despite the alarming clinical and histologic presentation, mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a non-neoplastic benign lesion.

“…La tercera opción de tratamiento, tal vez un poco más prudente, sugiere que, debido a las características benignas de este tumor y dadas las posibilidades de que se presente una reducción en su tamaño con regresión espontánea en el tiempo, como se ha documentado en algunos casos (16), se ha sugerido posponer el tratamiento quirúrgico hasta cuando esté claramente indicado (17).…”

Hamartoma mesenquimatoso de la pared torácica: presentación de un caso

Institución donde se realizó el trabajo:Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl, Medellín, Colombia El hamartoma mesenquimatoso de la pared torácica es un tumor benigno extremadamente raro. Hasta el momento hay, aproximadamente, 80 casos reportados en la literatura mundial; la mayoría se manifiesta desde el nacimiento por la presencia de una masa palpable, no dolorosa, usualmente unilateral, en la pared torácica. Los síntomas respiratorios son secundarios a la compresión extrínseca sobre el parénquima pulmonar y su gravedad depende del tamaño y la localización de la lesión. Los hallazgos radiológicos son característicos pero el diagnóstico definitivo es histológico. Describimos el caso de un paciente de cuatro meses de edad, en quien se realizó diagnóstico de hamartoma mesenquimatoso de la pared torácica; el paciente presentaba las manifestaciones desde el nacimiento. Se hace énfasis en las opciones de tratamiento, considerando el manejo expectante como una alternativa válida por las características benignas de este tumor, por la considerable morbilidad posterior a grandes tratamientos quirúrgicos y por la alta probabilidad de presentar regresión espontánea.Palabras clave: hamartoma, pared torácica, costillas, tórax, lactante. Chest wall mesenchymal hamartoma: a case reportChest wall mesenchymal hamartoma is an extremely rare benign tumor. Approximately 80 cases have been reported in the literature. Most tumors are manifested at birth with a painless palpable mass of the chest wall, usually unilateral. Respiratory symptoms result from extrinsic compression of the pulmonary parenchyma, and the severity of the symptoms will depend on the size and location of the lesion. Imaging features are characteristic, but definitive diagnosis is histological. Herein, a case is described of a four month old infant with diagnosis of chest wall mesenchymal hamartoma, manifested at birth. Different treatment options are described, including expectations from tumor management, the possibility of spontaneous regression, and the morbidity associated with the surgical option.
