Abstract
Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignancy of bone in children and adolescents. OS has a predilection for the metaphyseal region of the long bones. The most common site of involvement is the distal femur followed by proximal tibia, proximal humerus, middle and proximal femur, and other bones. Primary OS of chest wall is a very rare entity.
Case Report: We, here, describe a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented to our center with a chest wall swelling and pleural effusion, which was subsequently diagnosed as chest wall OS originating from the rib. We treated him with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Ifosfamide, Adriamycin, and Carboplatin). He showed an excellent transient response to the chemotherapy, after which he underwent an en bloc resection of the tumor. He was then started on adjuvant chemotherapy, but unfortunately, he relapsed soon after the last cycle and later on succumbed to the disease.
Conclusion: Chest wall OS is an infrequent malignancy. Pathological diagnosis is difficult and requires a high index of suspicion. Data regarding the prognostic factors are scarce, and no concrete guidelines are available for the management of such patients.
Keywords: Chest wall, osteosarcoma, rib.
