Introduction: Surgical treatment of tumours of the chest wall (primary or metastatic) requires special skills by the thoracic and the plastic surgeons, from the functional as well as the aesthetic perspective (oncoplastic surgery), when the treatment requires surgical reconstruction.
Material And Methods: We present a series of 14 patients who needed extensive resection of the thoracic wall (external and/or 3 or more ribs) with disease-free margins and reconstruction with prostheses (7 with polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE(R)] and 7 with the Sandwich Marlex-Methyl Metacrylate) technique with additional covering with muscle-skin flaps (6 pectoral, 5 recto-anterior, 3 dorsal) pedicled during the same surgical intervention.
Results: The aetiology of the extirpated tumours, following pathology assessment, were: 4 chondrosarcoma, 3 metastatic sternum, 2 breast cancer relapse, 1 desmoid tumour, 1 neurofibrosarcoma, 1 rhabdomiosarcoma, 1 malignant schwannoma and 1 radiation induced sarcoma.
