Fig 1 Computed tomographic scans showing (a) chest-wall reconstruction with 2 sandwiches of polypropylene mesh and cement (arrowheads), and (b) recurrent tumor adjacent to posterior ribs (arrowhead). Both scans were taken 10 months after third-time resection. Absence of adhesions between the tumor and the polypropylene mesh allowed this to be reflected anteriorly at fourth-time resection. (c) Unfortunately, infection necessitated removal of the mesh and replacement with latissimus-dorsi free flap (arrowhead).

Fig 2 Representative high-power sections showing (a) abnormal mitoses (arrowhead) and (b) nuclear pleomorphism (arrowheads) in the tumor removed at third-time resection. Sections from the tumor removed at fourth-time resection (c) revealed increasing nuclear pleomorphism and myxoid stroma (arrowheads), suggestive of increasing malignant change.
