Summary:A 20-year-old female was referred to our hospital due to deformity and bulging in anterior aspect of chest wall in sternal area.

We resected sternum completely and reconstructed large anterior defect by a cryopreserved sternal allograft. In follow-up of patient there was no unstability of chest wall with good cosmetic result.
