Abstract:
The intrathoracic rib is a rare anomaly. Despite this, it has distinctive radiological features which should enable a confident diagnosis to be made from the chest radiograph alone. Its importance lies in recognising it as a benign lesion and limiting further investigation appropriately. We present an 11-year-old girl with an intrathoracic rib found incidentally on a chest radiograph.
