Tietze`s syndrome continues to confuse the clinicians although it has been first reported in 1921. A major reason for that is the controversial information about its unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Very often, the clinical findings resemble other diseases and the conventional drug therapy is ineffective. All these facts may turn the diagnosis and treatment of Tietze`s syndrome into a real challenge. The information about this syndrome available has been systematized. A special attention has been paid to the etiology, diagnosis and modern therapeutic modalities.
