  • Title: Scapular osteochondroma with reactive bursitis presenting as a chest wall tumour.
    Author: Shackcloth MJ, Page RD.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2000 Oct; 18(4):495-6. PubMed ID: 11024391.
    Abstract:
    A 32-year-old male presented with a painful, rapidly enlarging chest wall mass. A malignant chest wall neoplasm was suspected. A CT scan was performed which showed a mass extending from under the scapular and an exostosis arising from the anterior surface of the scapular. The mass and exostosis were resected resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. Histological examination showed the mass to be a reactive bursa, with no evidence of neoplasia.
