Longitudinal dysplasia with humerus buried within soft tissue of the chest wall

[摘要] We describe a patient presenting with upperextremity longitudinal dysplasia in whom the humerus was buried within the tissues of the chest wall. Surgery was performed to elevate the left humerus from the upper chest and place it within the empty soft tissue envelope, which extended distally from the shoulder. To our knowledge, this particular anomaly has not been previously described in the literature.
