Abstract

Chest wall contains a wide array of tissues ranging from soft tissues like skin and muscle to bone. A variety of sarcomas can present with a painful or painless mass, which often requires histological testing for diagnosis. Chest wall sarcomas are very rare entities which are often growing slow . A multidisciplinary team is necessary for the management of chest wall sarcomas. We present a case of a 30-year-old male with spindle cell sarcoma of the chest wall and he underwent wide local excision along with surgical reconstruction.

Keywords: chest wall; sarcoma; surgery.
