Intraosseous hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors which are more commonly seen in the vertebrae and skull but they rare in the ribs. Rib hemangiomas can mimic malignant rib lesions and definitive clinical and imaging diagnosis might be difficult and pathological confirmation will be required. Here we report a rib hemangioma in a 49-year-old male presented with painless chest wall swelling of 9 years duration, on chest CT scan the lesion showed dense radiating type calcification with cortical destruction.

Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review analyzed data from 40 studies involving 43 patients, revealing a bimodal age distribution with a higher incidence in individuals under 30 and those over 30, predominantly affecting females and usually located in mid-thoracic ribs on the left side.
- * Most rib hemangiomas are asymptomatic, though they can cause pain; diagnosis relies on imaging and clinical evaluation, and treatment often involves surgical excision, sometimes aided by preoperative embolization.

Rationale: Intercostal hemangioma (IH) is an extremely rare disease, with only 18 cases reported in the past 30 years. Herein, we report the first case of IH coexisting with multiple hepatic hemangiomas, which recurred 32 months after surgery with rib erosion. IHs are invasive and difficult to distinguish from other intercostal tumors on imaging.

Intra-osseous hemangiomas are uncommon tumors that can present diagnostic and treatment dilemmas. Bone hemangiomas with papillary and glomeruloid growth patterns are exceptionally rare. We present an example of an intra-osseous hemangioma of the rib displaying aggressive features on both radiology and histology.
