Rib tumors usually grow on the ribs, mostly in the sternal stem.
Rib tumor is a kind of bone tumor, and rib tumor is a tumor originated from rib bone. The incidence rate of rib tumor is relatively low, and the growth and development process is relatively slow, so patients usually do not have obvious symptoms. However, with the gradual increase of the tumor volume, once it presses the nerves or causes stimulation to the pleura, it will cause local pain, and the pain will last for a relatively long time.
Secondly, symptoms such as local lumps and swelling will also appear. For patients with rib tumors, fractures can occur without trauma or with minor trauma, which is called pathological fracture.
Rib tumors occur in the rib cage, if there are symptoms such as pain, pressure or lumps in the chest, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, clear diagnosis and active treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
