Main Article Content
Abstract
The sternum is a rare site of occurrence of neoplastic lesions. Metastases are commoner than primary neoplastic lesions. We report a case of a sternal mass lesion in a 40-year-old male patient who presented with left-sided brachial plexopathy. MRI revealed a normal brachial plexus and a sternal mass lesion which turned out to be sternal lymphoma.
