Abstract
A 3-year-old boy presented with a 3 x 3 cm dermoid cyst in the midline of t he anterior chest wall. This was successfully removed, using an endoscopic- assisted technique, through a single incision placed in the anterior axilla ry fold, avoiding the need for a mid-sternal incision. This technique and i ts application to paediatric soft-tissue surgery are discussed. (C) 2001 Th e British Association of Plastic Surgeons.
