Abstract
Background: Patients with chest pain frequently apply to the cardiology clinics or emergency departments with fear of heart disease, after exclusion of life threatening diseases that may remain undiagnosed for a long time. Idiopathic costochondritis (IC), also known as atypical chest pain or anterior chest wall syndrome, is a poorly understood disease characterized by chest pain and tenderness over the chondrosternal or costochondral joints. Tietze syndrome (TS) resembles IC but differs by exhibiting a characteristic non-suppurative painful swelling over the rib cartilages. We aimed to compare IC and TS, to investigate recurrence rates of diseases and seasonality of the diagnosis consider unclear etiology of these issues
