Fibro-osseous lesion of rib.
A 3 x 4 cm homogeneous opacity was incidentally detected over the first rib at routine chest radiography. Radionuclide bone scan identified a hot spot, not excluding malignancy and excision of the rib revealed fibro-osseous lesion. A review of the literature showed 12 cases of this extremely rare lesion.
