I am a generally healthy 65 year old female. My biggest issue about 3 years ago was kidney stones requiring lithotripsy. I have moved and my new provider ordered a CT scan due to my history. No stones but a sclerotic lesion on my ninth rib. What could that be?
Hello, A sclerotic lesion on the rib can be a chance finding and may not be related to any pathology. This is not a worrisome finding, and you can get a re-evaluation done after 6 months.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
