FIBROUS DYSPLASIA OF RIB - AN UNUSUAL CAUSE OF CHEST PAIN

Pushpendra Baghel, Ashish Kumar Dwivedi, Arvind Rai, Devendra Chaudhary

Abstract


Fibrous dysplasia of rib was not considered as part of the differential diagnosis of chest discomfort, since it is typically painless. We present a patient with left chest pain due to fibrous dysplasia of the fourth rib left side. This is a rare presentation described with fibrous dysplasia of the rib with left chest pain that mimicked angina.


Keywords
