Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma of the chest wall in a 3-month-old boy was described. The patient was presented with respiratory distress, and a large calcified mass of the left lung field was seen on the chest roentgenogram. Treatment consisted of excision on the tumor with removal of 5th to 8th ribs. There is no evidence of recurrence during the two years folow-up.
