Primary chest wall tumors are relatively rare, and in individual cases the biological properties and onset site of the tumor must be considered before surgery, and the chest wall defect must be reconstructed. The case of a patient with a chondrosarcoma arising in the right first rib who underwent resection and reconstruction is reported. The patient was a 56-year-old man with a 6 × 7 cm tumor i...

A ten-year-old reconstruction surgery of a total nasal dorsum defect on the right nose involves medial arm flap and self-rib cartilage, complicated into fibrous tissue retraction, which caused nostril narrowing asymmetry. This complication was corrected using combination nasolabial for skin coverage modified, old rib cartilage graft to create supportive rim newly reconstructive ala. There is co...

BACKGROUND Hypophosphatasia (HP) is characterized by a genetic defect in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene and predominantly an autosomal recessive trait. HP patients suffer from reduced bone mineralization. Biochemically, elevated concentrations of substrates of TNSALP, including pyridoxal-5'-phosphate and inorganic pyrophosphate occur in serum, tissues and urine. The l...

This case describes the radiological-surgical correlation of a rare case of osteosarcoma of the rib in a 15-year-old boy. Successful repair of his chest wall defect using a wire mesh following extensive surgical resection of the tumour is highlighted, such a procedure being the first instituted at our centre.

Although after oesophageal atresia (OA) repair in infancy, respiratory problems are common, their natural history remains unclear. We assessed morbidity, pulmonary function (PF), and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in adults with repaired OA respiratory. 588 patients who underwent surgery for OA during 1947-1985 were identified and those 262 who were alive and had their native oesophagus we...

Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) of the bone is a rare tumor which most commonly involves the wing of the ilium. Patients range from 5 to 75 years in age and no sex predilection has been noticed. Until recently BFH was considered to be a variant of metaphyseal fibrous defect (including fibrous cortical defect, non-ossifying fibroma etc.). However, based on radiological and clinical features BF...

Removal of the whole sternum for malignant tumours results in a large defect, causing severe deformity and possible paradoxical movements of the chest wall. The reconstruction of the resultant large defect of the chest wall is often complex and difficult. Commonly used materials include rib autograft, steel strus acrylic plate and various synthetic meshes such as Goretex or Marlex mesh, with a ...

The maximum test load of Changlongshan pumped storage power station steel bifurcation pipe is 10MPa. To ensure the safety water pressure test, acoustic emission used to monitor main welds crescent rib and cone. Taking NO.3 pipe’s data as an example, source location system was find possible position harmful defects, through activity intensity sources confirm defect significance. After analysis, ...

Introduction. Giant cell tumor of the bone is a rare benign lesion that infrequently affects the ribs, and if present, is usually located posteriorly. The rarity of this tumor poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems for physicians, especially when it is located in the anterior arc of the rib in close proximity to the breasts in female patients. Case Presentation. We report the case of a 32-ye...
