Popis:	Abstract We hereby describe the resection and reconstruction of a rib infiltrated by a lung cancer metastasis. Despite prior radiation therapy aimed at mitigating pain from rib infiltration in a stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patient, results were unsatisfactory. Employing a minimally invasive palliative strategy, we executed a successful operation to address this issue. This technique presents a viable alternative for patients experiencing recurrent pain post radiation therapy.
