We report a rare case of cholesterol granuloma involving the second rib of a 38-year-old-woman who presented with a slowly growing lesion of the anterior aspect of the chest. Copyright 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract We report an unusual case of a nonchromaffin paraganglioma, 7 cm in diameter, presenting clinically within the thorax of a 7-year-old girl as a primary rib tumor. It is believed to be the first report of such a location for this tumor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the present patient remarkable effect on rib tumor was observed after administration of IMiDs. These novel treatments should be tried before surgical resection.[ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Operative checklists are included in procedural chapters, and procedures are presented as bulleted to-do lists wherever possible.[books.google.com]
In this study, we compare the present patient with these two patients, with a review of the literature.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
Because the lump has gotten bigger and you are experiencing increasing ribtenderness, it's time to go back to the doctor. I'm not sure why you are sure that this could not be a sebaceous cyst.[healthcentral.com]

She was treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DXA) for two weeks, which were stopped due to skin eruption, and subsequently with pomalidomide and DXA for two months, and a visible therapeutic effect of a tumor size decrease (Figure 2), as well[ijcasereportsandimages.com]
However, it was stopped due to peripheralneuropathy. Anemia, bone pain including pain at the rib tumor (Figure 1), renal impairment, and an increase in IgG appeared nine months later (Table 1).[ijcasereportsandimages.com]

The prognosis (outlook) depends on the degree of local tumor replacement and the extent of liver function impairment. Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) is the most common cancer in some parts of the world.[medicinenet.com]
Prognosis varies by cancer type, cell differentiation, and stage; firm conclusions are limited by the low incidence of any given tumor. Sarcomas have been the most well studied, and primary chest wall sarcomas have a reported 5-yr survival of 17%.[merckmanuals.com]
Local recurrence, a high Campanacci grade and curettage are possible high risk factors for pulmonary metastasis ( J Bone Oncol 2017;7:23 ) Secondary malignancy in giant cell tumor of bone (arising after treatment of a benign giant cell tumor) has a poor prognosis[pathologyoutlines.com]
A 30-year-old female consulted our hospital with right thoracic pain without etiological factors. At the 9th rib, pressure pain was noted and was exacerbated during movement.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
