Abstract:
  Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially life-threatening infection of the fascia which often progresses rapidly, involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue secondarily. It is a relatively uncommon condition with the perineum and the extremities as predilective sites. Necrotising fasciitis involving the chest wall is extremely rare with only 18 cases described in the literature. This article presents a new case following blunt trauma.
