| | SUMMARY |
| |
Teaching points:
1. The ribs are involved in a variety of metabolic, iatrogenic, traumatic, infectious, neoplastic, and inflammatory conditions. They can provide significant diagnostic information.
2. Encountering common disorders in the ribs may be confusing because of the unusual location.
3. Appropriate imaging evaluation of rib lesions is critical
4. Accurate recognition and description of imaging features of rib pathology facilitates appropriate differential diagnosis and management
