Zusammenfassung

Das Chondrosarkom ist der häufigste primäre Tumor der Brustwand. Die Therapie der Wahl ist die großzügige Resektion. Strahlen- und Chemotherapie sind selten erfolgbringend. Wir berichten über eine Patientin, bei der eine symptomreduzierende, jedoch palliative Resektion durchgeführt wurde.
