Abstract
A 21-year-old woman with a painful chest wall mass was found to have a para chordoma (PC). The tumor arose from the fifth intercostal space. A wide che st wall resection including the tumor and a 2.5 cm free margin and the subs equent reconstruction with a Gore-Tex(R) soft tissue patch covered with a l atissimus dorsi rotational flap was performed. To our knowledge, chest wall parachordoma has not been previously reported in the medical literature. ( C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
