Abstract: Tumors of the diaphragm are rare and caused by there special localisation difficult to diagnose. We describe the case of a 31 year old man with a choristoma of the left diaphragmal crux where the localisation and genesis could only be cleared through lateral thoracotomy. Nor the CT guided puncture or the laparoscopy-although sufficient samples for the pathology could be gained-allowed the right diagnose. The importance of good diagnostic approach to select the right operative procedure-in this case the anterolateral thoracotomy-is described.
