Thirty-four primary rib tumours (24 benign, 10 malignant) were surgically treated in 1966-1985. The mean age was higher and the tumour diameter was greater in the patients with malignant, than in those with benign neoplasm. The benign tumours were excised without operative death. At follow-up after a mean of 12.3 years there was no recurrence of benign growth, but in two cases with initial diagnosis of chondroma a regrowth at the same site proved to be chondrosarcoma. Among the cases of malignant tumour there was one operative death from pulmonary embolism, after radical resection of sarcoma. None of the four patients with chondrosarcoma had recurrence 6-13 years after surgery. There was no long-term survival among the patients with other forms of sarcoma or malignant tumour of the reticuloendothelial system.
1966年至1985年间，对34例原发性肋骨肿瘤（24例良性，10例恶性）进行了手术治疗。恶性肿瘤患者的平均年龄较高，肿瘤直径也大于良性肿瘤患者。良性肿瘤切除后无手术死亡。平均随访12.3年后，良性肿瘤无复发，但最初诊断为软骨瘤的2例患者在同一部位再次生长，结果证实为软骨肉瘤。在恶性肿瘤病例中，1例肉瘤根治切除术后因肺栓塞死亡。4例软骨肉瘤患者术后6至13年均无复发。其他形式的肉瘤或网状内皮系统恶性肿瘤患者均无长期生存。
