Diaphragmatic metastasis are rarer still, and are generally associated with disseminated disease, usually involving the liver and the lungs.</p><p>The authors present the case of a 65 year old man with a prior history of a chest wall chondrosarcoma, which on a routine chest CT was identified a single diaphragmatic metastasis. A redo thoracotomy was performed, with partial resection and reconstruction of the diaphragm. The post-resection histopathological examination revealed a conventional chondrosarcoma metastasis, centred in the diaphragmatic muscle, not reaching the pleura or the peritoneum.</p> ER -
