Popis: Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a rare tumor-like lesion encountered in neonates and infants. Although typically benign with no metastatic potential, it has alarming imaging and pathological features that mimic malignancy. We describe the imaging, surgical, and pathological features of this rare entity in a 1-month-old infant.
