  Fig. 1. Radiologic features of focal hematopoietic hyperplasia. (A) Chest radiograph showing a well-defined sclerotic bony lesion arising from the right second rib and projecting into the right upper zone. (B, C) Axial computed tomography images of the lung and mediastinal window demonstrating a well-defined sclerotic osseous lesion arising from the lateral aspect of the right second rib. The lesion has an intrathoracic, extrapleural component, which indents the upper lobe of right lung.

  Fig. 2. Microscopic features of focal hematopoietic hyperplasia. (A) Photomicrograph showing an inner shell with essentially normal-thickness bony trabeculae with a focal haphazard arrangement. (B) Hypercellular marrow containing normal hemopoietic cells with merging fatty marrow in the intertrabecular spaces. (C) Higher magnification showing normal hematopoietic cells of all lineages.
