A previously healthy 14-year-old girl presented to an unscheduled consultation with recent symptoms of myalgias, sore throat, and rhinorrhea. Her physical examination was unremarkable except for bilateral, firm supraclavicular masses. Concern for malignancy lead to investigation and the radiologic diagnosis of bilateral, asymptomatic cervical ribs was made.
