Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Sternal tumors are rare, but the majority of these tumors are chondrosarcomas.Chondrosarcomas are generally resistant to chemotherapy, and the first-line treatment is surgical resection.For malignancies located in the anterior chest wall, wide resection should be performed to prevent recurrence.After a wide resection, the defective area should be reconstructed in a way that preserves chest wall rigidity.This is crucial both to protect intrathoracic organs from trauma and to maintain effective respiratory mechanics.In this report, we aimed to present a case of a patient with Kartagener syndrome and sternal chondrosarcoma, in whom we performed a custom-made three-dimentional (3D) reconstruction.
