Description
We present a patient with left chest and neck pain due to fibrous dysplasia of the first rib. This condition was not considered as part of the differential diagnosis of chest discomfort, since it is typically painless. We believe this is the first patient described with fibrous dysplasia of the rib with left chest pain that mimicked angina pectoris.
