Abstract
We describe a case of chondrosarcoma of the sternum requiring wide full thickness chest wall excision thereby creating a difficult defect for reconstruction. A mesh was used for support and two extended deep inferior epigastric artery fasciocutaneous flaps were mobilised medially into the defect.
