Summary
We report the case of a man, aged 48 years, with a primary chondrosarcoma of the sternum which was treated by radical resection and reconstruction with an iliac allograft and musculocutaneous flaps. No complications were seen at follow up after two years.
Résumé
Nous présentons le cas d'un homme de 48 ans, porteur d'un chondrosarcome primaire du sternum. Il a subi une résection radicale suivie de reconstruction par allogreffe iliaque. Deux ans plus tard aucune complication n'a été observée. On discute la valeur de cette nouvelle méthode de reconstruction à l'aide d'allogreffes pour ce type de tumeurs, par rapport aux procédés thérapeutiques classiques.
