Abstract
Primary sternal tumours are rare. Most of them are malignant in nature. When localized, cure can be achieved by radical resection. However, it leaves a large bony defect in front of the heart that makes reconstruction a challenge. In this report, we describe our experience of sternal reconstruction using a custom-made 3D-printed titanium neo-sternum after en-bloc resection of sternal body and anterior ends of bilateral second to fifth ribs for chondrosarcoma.
