  • Title: [Non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma of rib origin: report of a case].
    Author: Kambayashi T, Ono N, Terada Y.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2005 Dec; 58(13):1177-80. PubMed ID: 16359022.
    Abstract:
    A 69-year-old man with left chest and back pain was found to have an osteolytic mass (4.2 x 3.8 cm) in the left 8th rib by chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) in August 2003. There were no abnormal findings in the abdomen, lung, mediastinum or bone except the left 8th rib. Although the spontaneous disappearance of pleural effusion and the elevated CRP suggested the possibility of myelitis, the malignancy of the rib could not be ruled out, and the surgery was performed in September 2003. The mass was resected en bloc together with the involved 8th rib. The histological diagnosis was primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse, medium-sized to large B-cell lymphoma).
