Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma is generally found as a small, hard and painless tumor that grows from the outer surface of the costal metaphysis. We herein report the case of a 19-year-old female presenting chest pain with respiratory or hemodynamic involvement. Radiological examination showed a large intrathoracic calcified lesion compressing the mediastinal vessels.
