“…In some cases, biopsy is discouraged because there may be a risk of implantation of tumor tissue into the soft tissues or skin through biopsy procedures. 8) In our case, the patient, a young woman, strongly hoped to preserve the mammary gland and biopsy of the tumor was not performed because of the risk of tumor cell implantation into the mammary gland. Hence, she underwent surgical excision of the tumor and received adjuvant chemotherapy.…”

A 37-year-old woman noticed a right anterior chest mass and pain. The mass had been rapidly growing and she visited our hospital. The mass was hard and 8 × 7 cm in size. It was detected in the upper inner quadrant of her anterior chest wall. A computed tomography (CT) examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest revealed a large heterogeneously enhanced mass arising from the right chest wall with lytic destruction of the rib and coarse calcification. An image diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma originating from a rib was made. She underwent surgical excision of the tumor and chest wall reconstruction. Microscopic examination of the resected tumor showed multiple neoplastic cells accompanied by osteoid formation within the tumor. The tumor was diagnosed as high-grade malignant osteosarcoma of the rib. Primary osteosarcoma commonly originates in the long bone in children and adolescents, but it occurs very rarely in the ribs in adults. Surgical resection plays an important role in the treatment for this disease. We report a case of primary osteosarcoma that originated in the rib of a young woman and was treated successfully by surgery.

“…5,6) Neurogenic tumors are classified as nerve cell origin tumors (i.e., ganglioneuroma, neuroblastoma) or nerve sheath origin tumors (i.e., neurilemmoma, neurofibroma), on the basis Fig. 1 Coronal section images of CT clearly demonstrating a dumbbell-shaped mass lying from the inner chest wall to the outer chest wall through the 9th intercostal space (white arrowheads).…”

We report the first case of the intercostal neurilemmoma showing a unique growth pattern in the lateral chest wall (both inside and outside the thoracic cavity). Usually, intrathoracic neurilemmoma is found in the posterior mediastinum and bulge from the inner surface of the bony thorax toward the thoracic cavity. This unique growing pattern of neurilemmoma arising from intercostal nerve was clearly demonstrated by computed tomography and ultrasonography.

“…SPB'a ise en sık vertebrada rastlanmaktadır. Toraks duvarında görülme oranı yaklaşık % 15 den daha azdır ve büyük bölümü kostalardadır (1,3,4,6,7,9). Toraks duvarı tümörlerinde de plazmasitom oranı ortalama % 3 dür (9).…”

“…Daha çok pelvis ve ekstremitelerde bu tarzda görülür. İkinci olarak da daha çok SPB nin spinal prezantasyonunda, kostalarda ve sternumda görülen kenarları iyi sınırlanmış dekscrük-tif İezyon şeklindedir (7,9). Korteks sağlam olabilir.…”

Soliter plazmasitom, plazma hücrelerinden köken alan nadir gö-rülen bir tümördür. Kemiğin soliter plazmasitomu (SPB, solitary plasmacytomas of bone) ve ekstramedüller plazmasitom (EMP, extramedullary plasmacytomas) olmak üzere iki şekilde görülür (1,6). EMP üst solunum yolunda, deride ve daha az sıklıkla lenf nodlannda, sindirim sisteminde, akciğerde, troid bezinde görülmektedir. SPB ise yandan fazlası vertebrada görülür. Bunun pelvisde, toraks kafesinde ve uzun kemiklerde rastlanır. Sunduğumuz vaka SPB'nun ender rastlanan lokalizasyon olan sternoklavikuler SPB'dur. VAKA :63 yaşındaki erkek hasta kliniğimize sol klavikula lokalizasyonunda ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti ile başvurdu. Bu şikayetleri 4 aydır mevcutmuş. Direkt radyografisinde sol sternoklavikular eklem bölgesinde dekstriktif lezyon görülmekteydi (Resim 1). CT de sol klavikula medial uç ve sternoklavikular eklemde çevre kemik yapıları dekstrükte eden yumuşak doku kitlesi izlenmekteydi (Resim 2). Çevre vasküler yapıyla olan ilişkisinin tam değerlendirilmesi için yapılan MRI incelemesinde sol klavikula medialinde ve sternoklavikular eklemi oblitere eden 4x4x7 cm boyutlarındaki tümör al kitlenin vasküler yapılara infiltrasyonu olmadığı görüldü (Resim 3). Kafa grafilerinde ve tüm vücut kemik sintigrafisinde klavikular lezyon dışında patolojik bir bulgu saptanmadı. Hastanın protein elektroforezi, kan biokimyası ve immünglobü-liııleri normal düzeylerdeydi. Kemik iliği incelemesinde % 4 oranmda plazma hücresi saptandı. İdrarda Bence Jones proteini görülmedi.
