Nonpalpable tumors of the rib can be difficult to localize accurately at the time of excisional biopsy. Furthermore, the ability of current imaging techniques to assess pleural or pulmonary involvement is not reliable. An intraoperative localization method using single port thoracoscopy is discussed which allows optimal placement of a biopsy incision and provides an accurate assessment of any tumor invasion into the adjacent pleura or lung.
