Abstract
Context: Enlarging sternal masses are critical to manage due to proximity of various vital structures nearby. Association of respiratory compromise or vascular compression still worsens the issue. We here present a case of multiple enchondromas primarily affecting the ribs and upper part of sternum and presented as a swelling in upper chest and lower neck with a history of compressive respiratory compromise. The child was later taken for shaving off of the lesion for relieving the respiratory compromise. Absence of the swelling was a definite cosmetic outcome for the child and the parents; however, relieve of respiratory compromise was a worthy addressed need.
Keywords: Enchondroma, multiple enchondroma, Ollier’s disease, giant sternal mass, sternal mass with respiratory compromise.
