A member asked:
Had a chest scan done to see why my left rib cage was swollen and doc said it looked fine why would my ribs be swollen then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Any component of the chest wall could give the appearance or feeling of asymmetric prominence. It wouldn't hurt to review the images with special attention to the area of interest. Sometimes, asymmetric musculature can often be mistaken for a mass or swelling.
