Abstract:
The operative case of transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach for the tumor involving thoracic inlet is reported. A 69-year-old man visited the hospital due to right upper extremity weakness. Chest roentgenogram showed bronchiectasis, chronic pulmonary tuberculosis, and fungal ball in right upper lobe. On computed tomogram, tumor was located in epidural space of the 6th, the 7th cervical, and the 1st thoracic spine and extended to the apex of the right thorax. A neurosurgeon performed laminectomy and removed the tumor located in the spinal canal. A thoracic surgeon performed a transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach and removed the tumor involving thoracic inlet. The tumor was diagnosed as hemangiopericytoma. The patient recovered without complication.
