Novel Chest Wall Reconstruction Following Excision of an Xiphisternal Chondrosarcoma.

Conclusion: To our knowledge, this case is the first report of a chest wall reconstruction of a large inferior sternal defect using only polypropylene and omentum without a rigid support or muscular flap. This repair option could be considered for patients in whom traditional rigid repair methods have potential complications or limitations. PMID: 30258302 [PubMed]
