Sternal Resection and Reconstruction for Solitary Plasmacytoma of the Sternum: Case Report

Abstract: A 63-year-old patient was admitted with a sternal fracture and mass. On evaluation, most of the body of the sternum had been destroyed by a tumor. Radical resection of the sternum was performed and part of the major pectoral muscles adherent to the sternal tumor was also resected. The chest wall defect was reconstructed with mesh, bone cement, and a titanium rib plate system. Reconstruction with this method seemed to be an appropriate procedure to prevent instability of the chest wall.

“…To overcome these bottlenecks, we proposed a new sandwich structure, referred to as PMMA, encapsulated with a LARS mesh. PMMA can provide sufficient support to the chest wall (Motono et al, 2019), is easy to manipulate, and less time-consuming to mould into sternal prostheses, due to the potential of a 3D-printing precast mould and the high plasticity of PMMA in the early period (Choi et al, 2021). In this case, we secured the prosthesis to the ribs with interrupted 1-0 sutures to reduce the incidence…”

“…Among these lesions we find both sternal invasion from adjacent diseases such as breast or mediastinal tumors (thymic carcinoma, germ cell tumors and others) as well as purely metastatic lesions. Among the latter, breast cancer is usually the most frequent with up to 50% incidence in some series ( 7 ) but other possible metastatic tumors are solitary plasmacytoma ( 8 ), renal cell cancer ( 9 ), melanoma ( 10 ), thyroid carcinoma ( 11 ), colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, hemangioma ( 12 ) or hepatocellular carcinoma ( 13 ). Given their overall low incidence and therefore limited published data, there is no consensus on their treatment ( 13 ), though given their bad prognosis and the high rate of incomplete resections performed the trend is towards limited palliative exeresis to avoid pain, infection or pulmonary function impairment, always within a multimodal treatment scheme ( 7 ).…”
