Abstract
Primary chest wall tumours are very rare. Chondrosarcoma is the most common tumour arising from the chest wall.
We describe the occurrence of a slow-growing chondrosarcoma arising from the anterior chest wall in a 35-year-old male
patient. The tumour was resected successfully and chest wall was reconstucted with prolene mesh and muscle flap. The
patient was discharged uneventfully without any respiratory compromise. There was no recurrence after a three-year
follow-up. Wide surgical resection with chest wall reconstruction appears to be the preferred treatment option for this rare
tumour of the chest wall.
