Case 55

Rhomboid fossae

Findings

The enlarged area (the thoracic inlet) shows defects in the under surface of the medial ends of the clavicles. Here it is more marked on the right, but they may be unilateral or bilaterally symmetrical also. They have been mistaken for lytic deposits, but actually represent a normal variant at the site of insertion of the rhomboid ligament between the first rib and the clavicle.
