Abstract

We present the prenatal evaluation and diagnosis of a disorganized chest wall hamartoma with underlying sternal cleft in a family with a prior offspring with the VATER association. The possibility that these conditions are linked to mesodermal defects with a common pathogenic etiology is suggested.
