Although rib involvement is not uncommon, large symptomatic lesions are rare. We report a case of giant monostotic FD of the sixth rib managed successfully in a resource\u2010limited rural setting. A 22\u2010year\u2010old man presented with a progressively enlarging, painful swelling over the left chest wall for 3 years. Examination revealed a hard, immobile mass measuring 10 \u00d7 6\u2009cm. Imaging showed a well\u2010defined expansile lytic lesion with ground\u2010glass matrix arising from the left sixth rib without cortical breach. Core biopsy confirmed FD. Owing to the lesion size, symptoms, and limited access to thoracoscopic facilities, open posterolateral thoracotomy with en bloc rib resection was performed. The resulting 8 \u00d7 6\u2009cm defect was reconstructed using rib approximation without prosthetic mesh and covered with a pedicled latissimus dorsi flap. The postoperative course was uneventful, with complete recovery and no recurrence at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up. This case highlights that complete surgical excision provides excellent clinical outcomes for symptomatic rib FD and demonstrates that effective, low\u2010cost reconstruction without synthetic materials is feasible in selected patients in resource\u2010constrained settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/cro\/3789997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T15:08:12Z","timestamp":1788275292000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Giant Fibrous Dysplasia of the Sixth Rib Managed in a Rural, Resource\u2010Limited Setting: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3464-7427","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sagarika","family":"Bhole","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.
