Abstract

Highlights: Twenty-three year-old female patient visited our clinic with right-sided chest pain. The patient underwent an extended chest wall resection, reconstruction and right pneumonectomy operation during pregnancy. The pathological results revealed that the tumor was a chondrosarcoma. On 33rd week and 5th day of gestation, the patient had a normal delivery. Abstract: A 23-year-old pregnant patient was evaluated with a mass lesion located on the right sided chest wall. A MRI of the chest showed a lesion of approximately 18 × 16 × 17.5 cm originating from ribs. A tru-cut biopsy revealed the diagnosis of chondrosarcoma. The patient underwent an extended chest wall resection, reconstruction and right pneumonectomy operation in the 24th gestation week. After the recovery period, two cycles of chemotherapy were administrated. The patient delivered a healthy baby in 34th week of her pregnancy.
