Abstract
Primary malignant tumors of the sternum are rare, and are difficult to treat due to the anatomical proximity of the mediastinal vascular structures and the limited surgical margins that can be achieved. The wall reconstruction is the most difficult part of the management. Many techniques have been described, ranging from musculo-cutaneous flaps to increasingly sophisticated prostheses. The authors report a case of a primary sternal tumor and the problem posed during wall reconstruction in a context of limited resources.References
