2. Fig 1
Computed tomography scans of a 49-year-old woman who had undergone right upper lobectomy and intercostal muscle flap (ICMF) for lung cancer 6 years earlier. (A) Image of thorax shows ICMF as a fat density stripe with adjacent calcification extending from the posterolateral aspect of a rib (arrow). (B) Centrally, the ICMF lies adjacent to the right main bronchus (arrow) indicating the site of surgery.

3. Fig 2
Computed tomography scan of a 62-year-old woman with lung cancer who had undergone a right pneumonectomy 9 months earlier. (A) The intercostal muscle flap (arrows) in the pneumonectomy space manifests as a single linear calcification with surrounding low attenuation fat. (B) Axial 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography scan shows normal FDG uptake in the region of the intercostal muscle flap (arrows) that is the same as background soft tissue uptake.

4. Fig 3
Computed tomography scan of a 60-year-old man who underwent right upper lobectomy for lung cancer. The intercostal muscle flap (arrow) appears as two parallel linear calcifications that resemble a thoracostomy tube.

5. Fig 4
Computed tomography scan of a 51-year-old man with lung cancer who had undergone a right upper lobectomy 18 months earlier. The intercostal muscle flap (arrow) contains two thick linear ossifications that resemble an intrathoracic rib.
