Imaging findings
Chest radiograph shows multiple unusual, calcified/ossified opacities projecting over the lungs, as well as exostoses arising from the proximal humeri.
Key takeaways
This case highlights the importance of recognizing multiple, calcified opacities within the thoracic cage that correlate with underlying bone exostoses, especially in the context of hereditary multiple exostoses.
