Abstract
Though the commonest malignant tumour of the chest wall is chondrosarcoma, its occurence in the sternum is very rare. Apart from that, the sternal reconstruction after wide excision of the tumour needs special techniques. The method we applied in this case was quite appealing in results. The knowledge of this method will be helpful when one encounters such a case.
