Cold abscess of the chest wall: a surgical entity? Eric Faure, MD, Redha Souilamas, MD, Marc Riquet, MD, Antoine Chehab, MD, Françoise Le Pimpec-Barthes, MD, Dominique Manac’h, MD, Bernard Debesse, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 66, Issue 4, Pages 1174-1178 (October 1998) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(98)00770-X

Fig 1 Computed tomographic scan showing a soft-tissue lesion destroying the sternum and extending anteriorly and posteriorly. The parasternal mass with low attenuation center and rim enhancement probably corresponds to a necrosis of an internal mammary lymph node.

Fig 2 Computed tomographic scan showing a parasternal cold abscess (arrow) clearly resulting from a necrosis of the internal mammary lymph nodes. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1998 66, 1174-1178DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(98)00770-X)
