| Summary: | Fibrous dysplasia is a osseous pathology and bone structure is replaced by fibro-osseous tissue. Our patient was a 36-year-old female with a complaint of swelling on the right side of chest for seven years. A magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax showed a mass measuring 86x28 mm in diameter in the right anterolateral chest wall that was marked after intravenous administration of contrast medium. The mass was removed by thoracoscopic technique. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. We believe that video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery will be main procedure for the surgical management of fibrous dysplasia of ribs in next years. |
