Rib enchondroma
Modality:
CT
Case Discussion:
The chest radiograph reveals what was assumed to be a pleurally based mass in the right upper chest wall. The subsequent CT confirmed the presence of the abnormality.
However, the mass was centred on the rib, with non-aggressive appearances and expansion of the bone.
Features are those of an enchondroma of the rib.
