Abstract:
Osteochondromadevelop most commonly at distal femur, proximal humerus and proximal tibia, but the rib osteochondroma was reported less commonly. In this report, scapular snapping syndrome complicated by adventitious bursa and soft tissue pseudotumor surrounding the osteochondroma of the 6th rib body was treated successfully by surgical excision of them. We report this rare case with reviewing the relevant literature.
