Abstract

We report radiologic findings in a case of chest wall parachordoma in a 32-year-old male with right upper back pain. The plain radiograph and CT scan of the chest revealed a soft tissue mass in the right lateral chest wall with rib erosion. En-bloc surgical resection with chest wall reconstruction was performed.
