Résumé
Chest wall masses in the pediatric population are relatively rare, and the differential diagnosis predominantly includes neoplastic soft tissue or osseous tumours, either benign or malignant in etiology, although local infectious processes represent additional diagnostic possibilities. Among recent immigrants, a more diverse array of less commonly observed pathogens warrant consideration. Here, we present a case of a chest wall mass in an immunocompetent child who had recently immigrated from the Philippines.
