Background: Several cases of lipoma in unusual locations in the thorax have been reported. Appropriate surgical treatment depending on the location and shape is often required.
Case Presentation: We herein report an extremely rare case of a chest wall lipoma growing into the pleural cavity. The tumor was successfully removed without damaging the capsule by a combination of direct and thoracoscopic approaches.
Conclusions: Chest wall lipomas growing into pleural cavity can be successfully treated by a combination of direct and thoracoscopic approaches.

Incidence of fall-from-height injuries and predictive factors for severity.
J Osteopath Med
January 2025
McAllen Department of Trauma, South Texas Health System, McAllen, TX, USA.
Context: The injuries caused by falls-from-height (FFH) are a significant public health concern. FFH is one of the most common causes of polytrauma. The injuries persist to be significant adverse events and a challenge regarding injury severity assessment to identify patients at high risk upon admission.

Department of Oncology, Cancer Center, Southern Medical University Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiotherapy (LDR) for postoperative local chest wall recurrence of breast cancer.
Methods: The records of 52 patients with postoperative local chest wall recurrent breast cancer treated at our cancer center from January 2019 to December 2022. The t-test was used to compare the means of the LDR group and non LDR group.
A 27-Year-Old Japanese Woman Presenting with Left Chest Wall Pain Due to Palpable and Visible Sclerosing Superficial Thrombophlebitis (Mondor's Disease).

Department of General Medicine, Juntendo University Faculty of Medicine, Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan.
BACKGROUND Mondor's disease (MD), or sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins of the anterior thoracic wall, is a rare condition of unknown cause that usually involves the superior epigastric vein, producing a visible and palpable Mondor cord. This report describes a 27-year-old Japanese woman presenting with left chest wall pain due to palpable and visible sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 27-year-old Japanese woman who presented with 8 days of left chest wall and upper abdominal pain.

Background: The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been widely accepted as the standard for revascularizing the left anterior descending artery during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. However, in 10-20% of cases, the LITA may lead to unsecured side branches to the chest wall, particularly the lateral costal artery (LCA), potentially resulting in postoperative chest angina.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who experienced persistent angina eight months after having undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to the steal phenomenon caused by a thick lateral costal artery (LCA).
Fluid-structure-growth modeling in ascending aortic aneurysm: capability to reproduce a patient case.

Predicting the evolution of ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA) growth is a challenge, complicated by the intricate interplay of aortic geometry, tissue behavior, and blood flow dynamics. We investigate a flow-structural growth and remodeling (FSG) model based on the homogenized constrained mixture theory to simulate realistic AscAA growth evolution. Our approach involves initiating a finite element model with an initial elastin insult, driven by the distribution of Time-Averaged Wall Shear Stress (TAWSS) derived from computational fluid dynamics simulations.
