BLUE arrows point at the rib's Tumour, an Osteochondroma.

An "excisional biopsy" was carried out, meaning that we resected not just the tumour itself but the whole rib's segment from which the tumour arose.  Radicality of the resection was the reason for doing so: this way the tumour is not expected to recur.
