Abstract

A giant cell tumor involving the left anterior 4th rib was diagnosed in a 42-yearold female who presented with a large mass at left anterior chest wall. Plain radiographs demonstrated an expansile osteolytic lesion at anterior aspect of left 4th rib. CT scan revealed an expanding mass originating from anterior aspect of left 4th rib, suggestive of a benign bone lesion. On MRI, the appearance was non specific and the diagnosis was established by histological examination after removal of the tumor.
