Abstract

The chest wall comprises the muscles, bones, joints, and soft tissues situated between the neck and the abdomen. Any pathologic process may involve the chest wall, including congenital and developmental anomalies, trauma, inflammatory and infectious diseases, and tumors. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight anatomical variants and lesions that are frequently encountered in the chest wall by providing radiological and cross-sectional imaging correlations.
