Abstract:
Stemocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) is a very uncommon disease characterized by hyperostosis of the clavicle, upper ribs, sternum and soft tissue ossification, particularly of the costoclaviculr ligament. Although the cause of this disorder is unknown, clinical, radiological and histological examinations may allow the diagnosis of SCCH. This paper presents a case of SCCH and a brief review of the literature.
