Abstract
Background
Secondary high-grade rib osteosarcoma is a very rare condition.
Case presentation
A 27-year-old woman presented with a bulging rib discovered on chest radiography, and fibrous dysplasia is suspected. A 15-cm chest wall tumor with osteolytic and sclerosing changes was observed 10 years later. Histologically, osteosarcoma was diagnosed, and no distant metastasis was found. Chemotherapy was performed, but the tumor grew over time, eventually filling the entire left thoracic cavity. Consequently, the patient had a pneumonectomy with wide chest wall resection. Despite allowing for an en bloc resection, the surgical margin was positive, necessitating postoperative radiotherapy. There has been no recurrence 5 years after surgery.
Conclusions
This is most likely a secondary osteosarcoma arising from rib fibrous dysplasia. It is suggested that imaging follow-up is important for early detection of malignant transformation.
