Benign histiocytic fibroma of rib with CT correlation.
Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a benign tumor with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation, most commonly found in soft tissues and less frequently in adult bones. It is identical histologically to non-ossifying fibromas of childhood but differs in its clinical and radiological features. We here report a 26-year-old woman with benign histiocytic fibroma in a rare location, a rib, with computed tomographic correlation. Such correlation has not been reported previously.
