Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 42 year old male was admitted for a bony mass on the posterior arc of the left 6th rib, which was detected in a multiphasic health screening test. According to the chest computed tomography scan and bone scan, osteochondroma was suspected. He underwent VATS rib resection. There was no vessel or nerve injury. The patient was discharged without any complication on the 4th post operative day. The pathological diagnosis was benign fibrous histiocytoma. Generally, posterolateral thoracotomy is needed for rib resection, but we found that there was no difficulty in doing this kind of surgery under a thoracoscopic approach, which has the advantage of better cosmesis.
