    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old woman admitted with difficulty of breathing and had an anterior chest wall tumor. Primary lesion of the chest wall tumor invading the inferior one third of sternum, right third to sixth ribs, a part of the right middle lobe, the pericardium and a part of the diaphragma and small nodules on the parietal pleura were resected, and a diagnosis of chondrosarcoma of the right fifth or sixth rib and pleural dissemination of the tumor was established. The defect of pericardium was repaired with artificial dura mater and the defect of bony chest wall was repaired with a double layer of Marlex mesh. Although the resection was palliative because of pleural dissemination, she is now working as a housewife without difficulty of breathing.
