Abstract
Recently, the authors had to reconstruct the anterior chest wall immediately after an extended upper sternectomy with curative intent for neglected papillary thyroid carcinoma in an otherwise fit 65-year-old man; a previous attempt to radical resection was abandoned 3 years ago due to technical difficulties, followed by unsuccessful treatment with radioactive iodine.
