ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report an 18 year old young man with bronchial asthma presenting with productive cough for one month. His chest radiograph and computed tomography [CT] demonstrated an exostosis of the right first rib, which was an incidental finding not related to his complaint. We report the radiological findings and complications that may accompany rib exostosis
