Costosternal Chondrodynia: A Variant of Tietze's Syndrome?

Robert J. Carabasi M.D., F.C.C.P.1; John J. Christian M.D.1; and Hanes H. Brindley M.D.2

Costosternal chondrodynia, a distinct clinical entity which has not been documented previously, is encountered frequently. Eighty-nine patients who had localized pain or tenderness which involved the upper and middle costosternal cartilages of the anterior chest wall were seen during a 15-month period at the Scott and White Clinic. Swelling was not visible or palpable. The response to roentgen-ray therapy was excellent.

Costosternal chondrodynia and Tietze's syndrome are two distinct entities. The essential features of each are almost opposite.
