Abstract：
Tumors that develop on the chest wall are usually rare. This case report highlights a rare occurrence of a giant cell tumor originating from the anterior arch of the fourth rib. The patient, a 21-year-old male, presented with a bulging mass that had been gradually increasing in size over an eight-month period, reaching dimensions of 12 x 8 cm. Despite the noticeable swelling, the patient reported no associated pain or discomfort and denied any history of weight loss or trauma. The absence of chest pain or cardiovascular symptoms distinguished this case from other chest wall pathologies. This report underscores the importance of considering rare entities such as giant cell tumors in the differential diagnosis of chest wall masses, especially in cases where clinical presentation and patient history do not align with more common conditions.
摘要：
在胸壁上发展的肿瘤通常很少见。此病例报告强调了罕见的源自第四肋骨前弓的巨细胞瘤。病人,一个21岁的男性,呈现一个膨胀的质量，在八个月的时间里逐渐增加，达到12x8厘米的尺寸。尽管有明显的肿胀，患者报告无相关疼痛或不适,否认有任何体重减轻或外伤史.没有胸痛或心血管症状将这种情况与其他胸壁病变区分开。该报告强调了在胸壁肿块的鉴别诊断中考虑罕见实体如巨细胞瘤的重要性。尤其是在临床表现和患者病史与更常见的情况不一致的情况下。
