A SURGICAL CASE REPORT OF PRIMARY MALIGNANT RIB OSTEOSARCOMA AND A LITERATURE REVIEW
Main Article Content
Abstract
Primary malignant rib osteosarcoma is a rare variant of malignant bone tumors, accounting for less than 1–2% of all osteosarcomas. Most malignant bone tumors are commonly associated with long bones, particularly the femur, tibia, and ribs. The discrepancy between clinical examination and clinical outcomes presents significant challenges in establishing a definitive diagnosis. Here, we report a case of osteosarcoma in the right sixth rib, which was surgically treated with wide tumor excision and chest wall defect reconstruction using a titanium mesh. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of malignant rib osteosarcoma. Six months postoperatively, the patient was in a stable clinical condition at follow-up.
