ABSTRACT
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the sternum is very rare. Imaging features are not specific, and a biopsy specimen may help identify the pathology. Positron emission tomography scan helps rule out a primary focus elsewhere. The treatment will be surgical management, if operable. We encountered a patient with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the sternum with an unusual presentation. After the diagnostic workup, we managed the patient surgically with resection, followed by titanium mesh reconstruction and pectoralis major flap cover. We present the case in view of its rarity and to emphasize the key surgical points.
