Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Chondrosarcoma of the sternum is an exceedingly rare malignancy. In this case study, we present a 62 - year - old female diagnosed with a low ? grade chondrosarcoma involving the left sternoclavicular joint. The patient underwent subtotal excision followed by reconstruction with a titanium plate, polypropylene mesh, and a myocutaneous flap. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the histopathology report confirmed Grade 2 chondrosarcoma with clear margins. We also provide a review of the relevant literature, emphasizing the importance of complete resection and the challenges of chest wall reconstruction.
