Non-traumatic complications of a solitary rib osteochondroma; an unusual cause of hemoptysis and pneumothorax

Osteochondromas are a very common and usually asymptomatic entity which may originate anywhere in the appendicular and axial skeleton. However, the ribs are a rare site of origin and here they may prove symptomatic for mechanical reasons. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of a symptom...

description Osteochondromas are a very common and usually asymptomatic entity which may originate anywhere in the appendicular and axial skeleton. However, the ribs are a rare site of origin and here they may prove symptomatic for mechanical reasons. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of a symptomatic osteochondroma of the rib secondary to its location and unique shape, ultimately requiring surgical intervention.
