“…Nevertheless, three-dimensional computed tomography is believed to be invaluable for identifying the cervical ribs. It significantly improves the evaluation of their attachment and length [23] and it could be considered the “gold standard” for cervical rib detection (Figure 3). However, cervical rib is also good visible on “classical” computed tomography transverse scans (Figure 4).…”

A familiarity with the anatomy of some types of bone anomalies is necessary for clinicians involved in many medical areas. The aim of this paper is to review the newest literature concerning the morphology, embryology, clinical image, and therapeutic methods of the cervical ribs in the humans. The incidence of cervical ribs has been found to vary from 0.58% in Malaysian population to 6.2% in Turkish population. Cervical ribs have clinical implications that are generally divided into neurological or vascular. This study is of particular importance for clinicians, as early identification of cervical ribs may prevent life-threatening complications.

“…1 Pseudoarthrosis can occur rarely between the cervical rib and the first rib. 2,3 However, to the best of our knowledge, the incidence of pseudoarthrosis of cervical rib with exostosis from the first rib was documented only in 2 case reports. 4,5 This report documents a case presenting with right supra clavicular mass and symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome which was diagnosed to be unilateral pseudoarthrosis of cervical rib with 1 st rib exostosis.…”

Cervical rib is defined as the presence of supernumerary rib at the 7th cervical vertebrae possibly associated with mutations in Hox genes. Cervical rib may have a free end or may be fused with the first rib by bone bridge or fibrous band. However, the incidence of pseudoarthrosis of cervical rib with exostosis from the first rib is reported rarely in literature. This report documents a unilateral pseudoarthrosis of cervical rib with 1st rib exostosis presenting as a supra clavicular mass with thoracic outlet syndrome.

“…El hallazgo de una masa supraclavicular dura a la palpación y adherida a planos profundos nos debe sugerir como primera opción un origen neoplásico [1][2], pudiendo ser la única manifestación de un cáncer a distancia, particularmente cuando la presentación es en el lado izquierdo (nódulo de Troisier o de Virchow) [3]. Y aunque es adecuado tener en mente durante la evaluación, el diagnóstico de peor pronóstico, también conviene considerar un diagnóstico diferencial inusual, pero benigno, como es, la presencia de una costilla cervical accesoria abombando en la región cervical [4].…”

Introducción y objetivo: El hallazgo de una masa dura supraclavicular conlleva siempre preocupación, porque habitualmente implica un diagnóstico de malignidad. El objetivo de este trabajo ha consistido en examinar las características diferenciales de la presencia de una costilla cervical que, aun siendo una entidad muy poco frecuente, si se sospecha clínicamente, hace posible un diagnóstico inmediato, evitando exploraciones innecesarias y ofreciendo al paciente un pronóstico de benignidad. Método: Se realiza una revisión sistemática sobre el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas duras supraclaviculares, por dos revisores independientes utilizando cinco buscadores académicos distintos. Resultados: De los 96 artículos obtenidos en la búsqueda inicial, se han extraído 14, tras el cribado de los que no cumplían los criterios de inclusión. El enfoque de los trabajos seleccionados fue el diagnóstico diferencial de una costilla cervical en pacientes con una masa dura supraclavicular. Discusión: La solicitud de pruebas complementarias, retrasa un diagnóstico que puede realizarse con una radiografía simple de tórax, evitando al paciente la angustia de un tortuoso camino. Conclusión: En el diagnóstico diferencial de una masa dura supraclavicular, se debe incluir la posibilidad de una costilla cervical.
