    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Malformations
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Pectus excavatum is a common sternal malformation in children.
    • Other sternal anomalies include forked xiphisterna and perforations.
    • The specific sternal malformation in this report has an unusual appearance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of pectus excavatum with a rare etiology.
    • To inform paediatricians and thoracic surgeons about rare sternal malformations.
    • To contribute to the understanding of congenital sternal anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Review of relevant medical literature.
    • Detailed description of the sternal malformation and its origin.

    Main Results:

    • The depicted sternal malformation, while not unusual in appearance, originates from a rare cause.
    • This case expands the known spectrum of sternal anomalies in children.

    Conclusions:

    • Rare etiologies for common sternal malformations like pectus excavatum should be considered.
    • Further research into the developmental origins of sternal anomalies is warranted.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on recognizing both common and rare presentations.
