Abstract

We report the CT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearances in an adult case of primary osteoblastic osteosarcoma of the rib. Osteosarcoma of the rib presents a diagnostic challenge because of the rarity of the lesion, especially with plain radiographs. The tumor should be suspected if CT and MR images demonstrate mineralization, suggestive of an osteoid matrix.

성인에서 생긴 늑골의 원발성 골모세포성 골육종(osteoblastic osteosarcoma)의 CT와 MRI 소견을 보고하고자 한다. 단순 촬영상 늑골의 골육종은 그 희소성으로 인해 진단하기 매우 어렵다. 그러나 CT와 magnetic resonance상 특징적인 골 기질(osteoid matrix)을 시사하는 무기질 침착(mineralization)의 소견을 보인다면 반드시 의심해봐야 한다.
