Özet

Xiphodynia describes an uncommon syndrome with group of symptoms ranging from upper abdominal pain, chest pain, throat, head and arm symptoms referred from xiphosternal joint or the xiphoid process. A 37-year-old woman presented with a sharp and persistant pain complaint of chest, mid-dorsal region and arm and anemia. Pain was refractor to medication and xiphoid resection was performed. The patient was diagnosed as thalassemia minor histopathologically. After resection pain was disappeared. At the 6th month follow up patient was asymptomatic and no pain was detected. Surgical resection of xyphoid bone may be curable in medically refractor xiphodynia.
