| Popis: | Primary malignant tumours of the chest wall are uncommon. Chondrosarcoma is the most common malignancy among them, the current therapy for chondrosarcoma requires adequate surgical excision. A 50 year old male presented with a swelling on the anterior chest wall, trucut biopsy of the swelling was reported as chondrosarcoma. Thorax computed tomography (CT) revealed a large mass nd lesion with the epicentre at the costal cartilage of the right 2 rib extending beyond the chest wall and musculature and protruding internally upto the upper lobe of the right lung, features likely of chondrosarcoma.Inorder to obtain disease free surgical margins, an enst nd rd bloc resection of the tumour along with approximately 4 cms of 1 riband 2 and 3 rib and reconstruction of the anterior chest wall was performed with a 2 layer polypropylene mesh and bone cement sandwich. The post-operative course was uneventful.The chest wall reconstruction with the two layer polypropylene mesh and bone cement provided the essential rigidity and stability to the chest wall. |
