Chondrosarcoma is a primary chest wall tumor causing huge masses arising from rib, sternum, or costochondral junction. Successful treatment warrants complete surgical resection with wide, free margins followed by reconstruction of the bony chest wall and soft tissue coverage of the defect. We report the case of excision of giant recurrent sternal chondrosarcoma followed by reconstruction of neosternum using steel wires. This novel technique portrays steel wire-based reconstructions as a safe, reproducible, and readily available prosthetic material for complex chest wall surgeries.
软骨肉瘤是一种原发性胸壁肿瘤，可导致源于肋骨、胸骨或肋软骨交界处的巨大肿块。成功的治疗需要进行完整的手术切除，切缘要宽且无瘤，并随后重建骨性胸壁以及对缺损进行软组织覆盖。我们报告了一例巨大复发性胸骨软骨肉瘤切除病例，随后使用钢丝重建了新胸骨。这项新技术表明，基于钢丝的重建对于复杂的胸壁手术而言，是一种安全、可重复且容易获得的假体材料。
