    Intrathoracic ribs, a type of supernumerary rib, are rare anatomical variations. Recognizing this anomaly is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical interventions like thoracotomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Medical Diagnostics
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Supernumerary ribs are anatomical variations.
    • Intrathoracic ribs are a rare subtype of these additional ribs.
    • The inheritance pattern of intrathoracic ribs is not well-established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report cases of intrathoracic ribs.
    • To highlight the importance of identifying this anomaly.
    • To prevent unnecessary medical treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis.
    • Review of relevant anatomical literature.

    Main Results:

    • Two cases of intrathoracic ribs were identified.

  • The genetic basis for this condition remains unclear.
  • Clinical significance lies in differential diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intrathoracic ribs are rare supernumerary anomalies.
    • Awareness can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary thoracotomies.
    • Further research into inheritance patterns may be beneficial.
