Abstract
BACKGROUND Chondromesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a rare, benign disease that usually presents at birth or in early infancy. It typically involves one or more ribs, forming a unilateral or bilateral extrapleural mass. Patients may be asymptomatic or complain of mild respiratory distress depending on tumor size and location. To the best of our knowledge, only two of the approximately 100 cases reported so far are adults. CASE PRESENTATION We present two cases of chondromesenchymal hamartoma. The first case involved the left fifth rib in a 24-year-old male, in close proximity to the fifth vertebral body in the left posterior mediastinum, mimicking a posterior mediastinal tumor on imaging. The tumor was excised via thoracoscopy and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The second case was that of a 5-month-old boy, who had a tumor involving the left fifth and sixth ribs which caused thoracic cage collapse. Following en bloc resection of the tumor and the involved rib segments, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for treatment of pulmonary infection and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). He was discharged from the hospital in stable condition 11 days later. On histopathology, the tumor was found to be a chondromesenchymal hamartoma with immature spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells, plate-like hyaline cartilage, areas of woven bone formation, endochondral ossification and calcification, osteoclastic giant cells, and secondary aneurysmal bone cysts. CONCLUSIONS Although the presently reported cases have morphological characteristics similar to previously reported ones, they had distinct radiological and clinical characteristics. Patient 1 is only the third report of an adult with chondromesenchymal hamartoma. His case was characterized by its radiological appearance mimicking a posterior mediastinal tumor. Patient 2 represents the first documentation of DIC as a postoperative complication following excision of a chondromesenchymal hamartoma. We present these two cases to provide clinicopathological insights regarding this extremely rare tumor that are relevant to both pathologists and clinicians.

Abstract
We herein report a rare case of mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall in a 10-year-old girl. She complained of chest pain and was diagnosed with a large chest wall tumor originating from the left fourth rib. Malignancy such as osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma could not be ruled out with imaging studies. Therefore, we performed a core needle biopsy assisted by thoracoscopy, which revealed no malignancy. Therefore, extended resection with chest wall reconstruction was unnecessary, and thoracoscopy-assisted tumor excision with only the removal of the involved fourth rib was performed without chest wall reconstruction. The postoperative course was satisfactory with no thoracic deformity and no recurrence.

Abstract
Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a well-recognized but extremely rare entity. This entity is believed to be benign with no propensity for invasion or metastasis. Although the lesion manifests with alarming aggressive clinical, radiological, and histological features, it is considered benign and carries an excellent outcome. Therefore it is important to recognize this benign entity to avoid the possible misdiagnosis of malignancy and the unnecessary use of chemotherapy. We present a case of bilateral multifocal mesenchymal hamartomas of the chest wall in a male infant and a literature review of this entity. Our aim is to improve the awareness of this condition and highlight its benign behavior and satisfactory outcome following complete surgical resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Thoracoschisis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly associated with limb body wall defect and diaphragmatic hernia. We describe a case of a female infant who was noted at birth to have tissue coming through a left sided thoracic defect next to an accessory nipple. The stomach bubble was displaced superiorly on radiographs. At surgery the tissue was attached to the left lateral lobe of the liver and was protruding through the chest wall via an intercostal defect below an eventrated diaphragm. The tissue was resected and the defect closed. Pathological examination was consistent with a mesenchymal hamartoma. The diaphragm may have formed abnormally in this case due to the presence of the mesenchymal hamartoma in this location.

Abstract
Chest masses present a common problem in the perinatal period. Advances in prenatal ultrasound, supplemented by fetal magnetic resonance imaging, now allow early detection and detailed characterization of many thoracic lesions in utero. As such, in asymptomatic infants, assessment with postnatal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can often be delayed for several months until the time at which surgery is being contemplated. Bronchopulmonary malformations comprise most of the thoracic masses encountered in clinical practice. However, a variety of other pathologies can mimic their appearances or produce similar effects such as hypoplasia of a lung or both lungs. Understanding of the key differentiating clinical and imaging features can assist in optimizing prognostication and timely management.
