Rationale:Osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor, rarely occurs in the sternum, especially the fibroblastic type, and is associated with poor survival. This case report describes a patient with a neoplasm of the sternum who underwent tumor resection 3 times and reconstruction twice because of the high risk of recurrence.Patient Concerns:A 60-year-old Chinese man presented with a 3-cm palpable bulging mass located in front of his sternum. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed an anterior chest wall neoplasm with sternal destruction.Diagnosis:Pathological examination revealed that the mass was a low-grade malignant primary fibroblastic osteosarcoma.Interventions:Locking plates were used for chest wall reconstruction, demonstrating good structural stability and economic applicability. Regarding the ineffectiveness of current therapies, whole-exome sequencing was conducted, and no targets matched any of the currently available agents.Outcomes:No recurrence was found on regular reexamination.Lessons:Surgery is the first choice of treatment for patients with primary fibroblastic osteosarcoma of the sternum. The reconstruction-locking plate is a good alternative for chest wall reconstruction. Whole-exome sequencing can shed new light on this uncommon disease and help identify novel therapeutic targets.

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.
