Abstract

Congenital lung herniation is a rare condition. It is usually associated with a costal cartilage defect. We report on a newborn boy with a partial lung herniation through the parietal pleura and skin associated with a sternal malformation. We propose the herniation occurred around the fifth month of fetal life and interfered with sternal ossification.
