Nonossifying fibromas are not uncommon, but those described in the rib are unique. We report the case of a 15-year-old patient with symptoms of chest wall pain for 5 days who underwent a video-assisted thoracoscopic rib resection for a 2.5-cm rib mass. Unexpectedly, pathological results revealed a nonossifying fibroma of the rib. The results showed excellent cosmesis and new bone formation because of the preservation of the overlying periosteum.
非骨化性纤维瘤并不罕见,但发生于肋骨的此类病例却很独特。我们报告一例15岁患者,因胸壁疼痛5天就诊,接受了电视辅助胸腔镜下肋骨切除术,切除一个2.5厘米的肋骨肿物。出乎意料的是,病理结果显示为肋骨非骨化性纤维瘤。结果显示,由于保留了覆盖的骨膜,术后美容效果极佳且有新骨形成。
