- Abstract
Bony tumours of the chest wall are rare and radical surgical resection forms the cornerstone of treatment. Closure of the defect following radical resection can be challenging.We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with a large tumour of the thoracic wall, which was surgically resected with direct reconstruction using a sandwich technique with a Palacos® patch placed in a double-layer Marlex mesh. Pathological examination showed a fibrous dysplasia of the rib. The patient had a good functional and cosmetic result.
