Patients have no history of infection, trauma, or neoplasms, and the most likely etiology is an aseptic inflammatory reaction of unknown origin. The differential diagnosis includes a wide spectrum of lesions such as tumors, infections, malformations, or anatomic variants. Material and methods We analyzed all cases of sternal masses in pediatric patients seen between 2012 and 2019; five of these had findings compatible with SELSTOC. We retrospectively recorded patients' race, sex, age, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, imaging tests, treatment, and follow-up. Results We present five cases of rapidly growing sternal lesions whose clinical and radiological features are compatible with SELSTOC. In the absence of alarming symptoms and laboratory markers, watchful waiting could be an appropriate therapeutic approach. However, patients with some findings such as fever, elevated acute phase reactants, and/or comorbidities could require therapeutic interventions such as antibiotics or percutaneous drainage. In our series, depending on the clinical presentation and the patient's comorbidities, different therapeutic approaches were adopted (a conservative approach in two patients, antibiotics in three patients, and percutaneous drainage in one patient). In all cases, the sternal lesion was absent at discharge and/or at later follow-up visits. Conclusion Radiologists and pediatricians must be aware of this entity and the different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to rapidly growing sternal lesions in pediatric patients because recognizing SELSTOC can avoid unnecessary diagnostic tests and/or disproportionate therapeutic strategies.Objective To determine the level of agreement within and between
