Abstract
We report on a case of spontaneous hemothorax occurring in a 13-year-old boy with
periosteal chondroma of the rib. Periosteal chondromas are rare, particularly in the
ribs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of periosteal chondroma
of the rib associated with hemothorax.
