Sonographic features of anterior chest wall lesions detected on breast sonography in women: A pictorial essay

Abstract

Although anterior chest wall lesions rarely occur and the associated imaging findings are nonspecific, various disease processes can affect the chest wall. It is important for radiologists to understand the anatomic relationship between the chest wall and breast and differentiate the tumor origin. This pictorial essay presents the sonographic features of various anterior chest wall lesions that were detected on breast ultrasonography.
