Abstract

In this report, we present an interesting description of an osteochondroma arising from the anterior arc of the left fifth rib mimicking an anterior mediastinal mass. Surgical excision confirmed the lesion to be a non-complicated osteochondroma of the rib abutting underlying the parent bone.

Keywords: Osteocondroma, Ribs, Tomography, X-Ray computed
