Excerpt

Abdominal radiography demonstrates a well-defined lenticular lucent mass over the liver with cortical thickening of the adjacent rib with ossific spicules protruding into the mass. The curvilinear opacity superomedial to the lucent mass is not part of the lesion; other views (not included) show this to be the inferior border of the scapula. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) reveals a non-enhancing homogenous fat attenuation extrapleural mass with a broad-based rib attachment. Thin, cortically based ossific excrescences extend from the inner cortex into the fatty mass. Small bilateral pleural effusions with bibasilar atelectasis are related to the patient’s underlying condition and not the lesion. …
