Primary chest wall tumours are rare tumours which account for <5% of thoracic malignancies. 50-80% primary chest wall tumours are malignant tumours. Thoracic chondrosarcoma is the commonest malignant primary chest wall tumour which occurred in 30% of all malignant primary chest wall tumours. We report a case of a 62-year-old gentleman presented with left chest wall mass associated with pain. CT scan showed left 9th rib mass with intraperitoneal extension. Histopathological examination showed costal conventional chondrosarcoma, grade 2. Patient underwent tumour resection with a safe margin of 4cm, and chest wall reconstruction. Subsequently, he had radiotherapy due to close surgical margins. After 6 months’ follow-up, patient's ECOG is 0 and no evidence of recurrence.
