A bony outgrowth/exostosis measuring approximately 2.1 x 1.3 cm is seen along the outer aspect of the anterior right fifth rib, close to the costochondral junction. A well-defined soft tissue component (hypodense to the muscles), measuring approximately 3.7 x 3.7 cm showing no significant enhancement, is seen in relation to this bony exostosis. No underlying rib destruction is noted. Visualized lung fields are clear.

Bony exostosis/osteochondroma is seen along the outer aspect of the anterior end of right 5th rib which is stable when compared with the previous scan; however, an interval increase is seen in the associated overlying soft tissue component (which is likely a cartilaginous cap) which now measures 60 x 45 mm as compared to the previous measurement of 37 x 37 mm. No radiological signs of invasion are seen either into the surrounding soft tissues or underlying ribs. No evidence of local or distant metastasis is seen as well.  An interval increase in the size of the cartilaginous cap is suspicious which needs further evaluation with MRI (for the exact thickness of the cap) and possible subsequent histopathological correlation to rule out malignancy.

A well-defined mass lesion measuring about 58 x 44 mm is seen along the right anterior 5^th rib, just under the right breast. This mass is of high signal intensity on T2 and STIR and isointense to the subcutaneous fat on T1-weighted images. The lesion has a peripheral low signal intensity rim on all pulse sequences, which may represent ossification or calcification.  It shows mild enhancement on the post-contrast scan. These MRI features are suggestive of a thick cartilage cap around the osteochondroma and the possibility of malignant transformation into the secondary chondrosarcoma needs to be ruled out.
