We briefly describe the case of a 4-year-old girl, referred for imaging of a small, firm, round, skin-colored, subcutaneous nodule that suddenly appeared at her right sternoclavicular junction. A plain radiograph was non-contributory, but ultrasonography revealed a small cystic structure, leading to the diagnosis of a sternoclavicular ganglion cyst. Sternoclavicular ganglion cysts are a rare diagnosis, with only seven reported pediatric cases. A watchful waiting approach can be adopted so long as they remain asymptomatic.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores a new approach for performing stellate ganglion block (SGB) in mice, positioning them supine with their arms abducted while administering anesthetic.
- - Fifty mice were divided into four groups to assess the effects of SGB using ropivacaine, with results showing that all mice with SGB developed Horner's syndrome, and there was a significant decrease in heart rate compared to the control group.
- - The complications observed were relatively low, with an overall rate of 18.4%, including minor issues like brachial plexus blocks and vascular injuries, but the study concluded that this method is effective for implementing SGB in mouse models.

Synovitis, acne, palmoplantar pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare and refractory autoinflammatory disease, and there is no consensus on its treatment. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) blocks sympathetic nerves, ameliorates immune dysfunction, and alleviates stress response, which has been used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, arrhythmias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Also, the SGB has been reported to be successfully used to treat certain skin diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and menopausal symptoms.

Primary upper limb venous thrombosis is a rare disease usually caused by external compression of the proximal deep upper limb veins from aberrant musculoskeletal anatomy such as cervical ribs, abnormal tendon insertions and hypertrophy of the anterior scalene or subclavius muscles. We present an unusual case of primary upper limb thrombosis caused by compression of the brachiocephalic vein from a sternoclavicular ganglion cyst. This case illustrates the importance of considering a wide differential when searching for a cause of primary upper limb venous thrombosis.

Objective: Masses of the sternoclavicular area are rare, and are not well described in the literature. We aim to present a series of patients with masses in this location and to review all reported English language cases of sternoclavicular masses in pediatric patients.
Methods: This is a case series of pediatric patients with masses of the sternoclavicular area presenting to a tertiary care pediatric hospital from 2010 through 2017.
