Recurrent intercostal herniation of the liver.

Abdominal intercostal hernia occurs rarely, with only 26 previous cases reported in the professional literature. A 51-year-old man presented with a painful right chest protrusion. One year earlier he had experienced a severe coughing spell and spontaneous rib fracture and chest protrusion. He was treated with endogenous tissue reinforcement and had no clinical improvement. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the liver protruding through the chest wall. The hernia was reduced and the chest wall was repaired with prosthetic mesh and cables. Attention to the chest wall anatomy and reliable tissue closure including pericostal or transcostal nonabsorbable sutures and a prosthetic bridge over the defect are the best way to eliminate the patient's risk for recurrence.
