  • Title: Spontaneous hemothorax in hereditary multiple exostosis involving the ribs.
    Author: Takata K, Suzuki K, Kurosaki Y.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 2008 Jan; 26(1):39-41. PubMed ID: 18236133.
    Abstract:
    Exostosis occurs in the ribs either sporadically or as a manifestation of a genetic disorder known as hereditary multiple exostoses. Costal exostosis may cause chest pain and, on rare occasions, result in hemothorax. We report a case of hemothorax owing to costal exostosis in a 4-year-old boy.
