A 67-year-old man was admitted with a slow-growing, painless mass originating from the left costochondral junction of the third rib (Fig. 1a,b). A 10x12x15 cm sized, solid mass and destructed portions of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ribs were resected. The chest wall defect was reconstructed with prolene mesh. Histopathology confirmed a completely resected chondroma.
