Physical examination revealed the presence of a palpable, spherical, painful, nut-sized subcutaneous lesion in the left lateral chest wall, respectively, with the anterior axillary line, at the height of the 6th to 7th intercostal space. Presence of ecchymosis on the overlying skin was also noticed (Figure 1).

We then performed separation of the adhesions between the lesion and the adjacent subcutaneous fat tissue, but also of the adhesions between the posterior surface of the lesion and the underlying fascia of the anterolateral chest muscles (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).
Total excised lesion, with a maximum diameter of 3.2 cm. Notice the intense hemorrhagic perfusion of its capsule.
