A 75-year-old man presented very late with a huge sternal mass that measured 91 × 84 mm on computed tomography. A core needle biopsy revealed atypical cartilage tissue, suggesting chondrosarcoma. The mass was resected and the defect was reconstructed with bone cement, Prolene mesh, and a muscle flap.

Gigantic Macromastia: Modified Superomedial Pedicle is a Good Solution.

Reduction of very huge breast-gigantic macromastia-is a challenge to breast surgeons in choosing the right procedure to obtain an optimal outcome. The feasibility of a superomedial pedicle (SMP) with some modifications proves to be a good option to achieve a viable nipple areolar complex (NAC) with good size and shape after good resection above 800 g. Out of the 35 patients with 70 breast reductions, 15 can be considered gigantic macromastia with reductions above 800 g.

Background: Mature teratomas are benign cystic tumors that are most commonly asymptomatic. However, in some cases, mediastinal teratomas rupture the lungs and mediastinum with potentially fatal outcomes. Herein, we report a case of a large mediastinal mature teratoma that expanded to the entire left hemithorax in a child with common cold-like symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a 74-year-old man diagnosed with a large mediastinal dedifferentiated liposarcoma, which required extensive surgical removal of the tumor and part of the chest wall, including the sternum and several ribs.
- - The surgery included reconstructing the chest wall using a combination of artificial prosthetic materials, specifically a titanium mesh plate and two types of mesh (ePTFE and polypropylene) for stability and protection.
- - Six years post-surgery, the patient remains healthy, free from respiratory failure and disease, suggesting that this surgical approach effectively minimizes complications and maintains respiratory function.
Innovative 3d-Printed Prosthesis In A Rare Case Of A Huge Mass Of Anterior Thoracic Wall - Low Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma (Lgfms).

The need for complete resection of chest wall tumors creates a huge challenge in terms of reconstructing the complex dynamics of the thorax. We are reporting a case of a low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) diagnosed in a young male, where the complete resection of the mass, sternum and parcially the pericardium was performed. Subsequently, a composite porous high-density polyethylene StarPore® prosthesis of the sternum and costal arches was used and the latissimus dorsi muscle free flap with skin graft was implanted over the sternum.

Background: Primary mediastinal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin with local aggressive biological behavior which is often diagnosed as an incidental finding without any symptoms. Chemoresistance and low radiosensitivity of these tumors favors surgical resection as the only option for radical treatment. The potential need for extended resections of adjacent structures is not uncommon and could be challenging.
