A 43-year-old male patient visited our hospital because of intermittent chest pain and exertional dyspnea. This patient was diagnosed as suffering with pulmonary stenosis that was caused by muscle hypertrophy of the subpulmonic area, and the diagnosis was made by performing echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. A sternal foramen of the chest wall was found on the operation field. We report here on this case and we also review the relevant literature.
