Description
Results of examination and treatment of 24 patients with primary neoplasms of the sternum including chondrosarcoma (18 cases), solitary plasmacytoma(5) and osteogenic sarcoma (1) were analysed.

Surgery was the main procedure used for the treatment of primary tumors of the sternum. Radiotherapy of primary malignant tumors of the sternum was used for palliative aims
