A 54-year-old male patient admitted to our hospital with rightsided
chest pain. Chest X-ray revealed a large expansive lesion
arising from the eighth rib. On his computed tomography,
paravertebral localized well-defined expansive lytic 4¥3 cm
diameter mass was described. Wide en bloc excision of seventh
and eighth rib was performed. In this article, we report a case of
intraosseous lipoma involved in the eighth rib under the review
of the literature.
