Carcinoma Lung Presenting as Sternal Mass- An Unusual Presentation

Abstract

Tumours of sternum are very rare. A 60 year old man presented with painless sternal mass of 3 months duration without any respiratory illness. On CECT scan besides sternal mass there was an intra pulmonary mass on left side, on biopsy both the lung mass and sternal mass revealed adenocarcinoma of lung with metastasis. Lung carcinoma presenting as sternal mass without respiratory symptoms is quite unusual and rare.
