“…The Lattisimus dorsii flap was first used in 1950 by Campbell [18]. Omental flaps can be useful for poorly healing infected and radiated wounds, as described by Kirticuta [19]. The reported post-operative mortality for chest wall resection and reconstruction is 3.8-4.5%.…”

Chest wall tumors are uncommon and include a variety of Cartilaginous, bony, and soft tissue lesions. The clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic to chest pain or ulcerating chest mass. Retro mammary chondrosarcoma of the chest wall can present as a painless breast mass and may be mistaken for a breast tumor. A careful clinical examination and relevant investigations are a cornerstone to plan an appropriate surgical procedure.

“…Serratus anterior, external oblique, pectoralis major, and tranverse abdominus flaps have similarly been employed. In addition to the myocutaneous flaps, large defects can be closed utilizing the greater omentum with skin grafting [29] and microvascular free flaps. The latter technique is particularly useful if local flaps have failed or if the local tissues have been previously radiated.…”

From 1975 to 1990, eighty-nine primary tumors of the thoracic skeleton; ribs, sternum, scapula, clavicle, and thoracic spine, were treated. Forty-four tumors (49%) were benign lesions. Forty-five tumors were malignant and were proportionately distributed amongst the five sites. The most common malignancies were Ewing's sarcomas, chondrosarcomas, plasmacytomas, osteogenic sarcomas, and lymphomas. All patients with Ewing's sarcomas were treated with combination chemotherapy, surgical resection, and radiation therapy for those with residual disease after surgery. Only one patient has died of disease. Patients with primary chondrosarcomas were treated by surgery alone and all are free of disease or have died without disease. Patients with solitary plasmacytomas or primary lymphomas of bone were treated with radiation therapy initially. Half the patients developed systemic disease. The patients with osteogenic sarcomas included several with radiation induced lesions and Paget's osteosarcoma and all but one died of disease.
