Chest Wall Lesion
- Metastatic lesions to ribs are common.
- Occasionally, these lesions expand and
encroach on the lung, masquerading as a lung lesion.
- The characteristic extra pleural signs, namely the peripheral location, indistinct outer margin with a sharp inner margin
and biconcave edges help point towards the true location of the lesion.
- Recognition of
such lesions focuses ones attention to the ribs and facilitates easy biopsy by
percutaneous techniques.
