This case, however, concerns a 46-year-old female patient, with complaints of pain and palpable mass in the right thoracic wall, who was diagnosed to have ABC originating from the rib demonstrated by radiological examinations, aspiration biopsy, and histopathological verification. Surgical resection was performed to the lesion.
