- Abstract
- Xanthomas of the rib are extremely rare benign neoplasms, most commonly reported in soft tissue, but rarely in bone. We report a case of a 4-cm xanthoma of the rib resected by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and pulled through a 2-cm port incision around the patient's areola. To the best of our knowledge, there are only 8 other such cases, and none of which were removed by thoracoscopic surgery.
