Further comments on the paper

Comments: This case report presents the case of a 50-year-old female with retro mammary chondrosarcoma, which presented as a breast mass. Radial resection and reconstruction of the chest wall were performed successfully after careful critical examination and radiological diagnosis. The study is of significance as the modified reconstruction technique has several advantages. It provides excellent chest wall stability, and there is no chance of MMS plate displacement or excursion.
