  • Title: Osteoid osteoma of the rib presenting as thoracic outlet syndrome.
    Author: Kargar S, Arefanian S, Ghasemi A, Binesh F, Heiranizadeh N.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2013 Dec; 96(6):2221-3. PubMed ID: 24296190.
    Abstract:
    Osteoid osteoma of the rib is a rare condition mostly mentioned in case report studies as lesions involving posterior region of the rib causing scoliosis. This report presents a 22-year-old man who complained of neurologic thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms. The pathologic study of the resected mass of the first rib confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. This unique presentation of the osteoid osteoma as thoracic outlet syndrome suggests that this pathologic involvement of the ribs is not confined to the symptoms of pain and scoliosis.
