Preoperative CT findings in case B. (A) Multiplanar reconstruction image reveals lytic destruction of the 4-5th sternebra and the boundary of the skin and pulp was not clear. Soft-tissue swelling of the anterior chest wall was particularly evident and it was bulging forward, suggestive of osteomyelitis of the sternum. (B) CT measurements: The distance between the suprasternal fossa and the site of dislocation was ~6.3 cm; the thickness of the sternal lesion was ~1.0 cm; and the depth of the skin incision to the sternal lesion was ~2.2 cm.
