A Chest Wall Myofibroma in an Adult
This case demonstrates that myofibroma can occur in the chest wall of an adult. The imaging findings of myofibromas are similar to those of malignant tumors, making them difficult to diagnose. Resection offers a good prognosis, and because these tumors occur in young patients, surgery should be performed with consideration for preserving function.
