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.
