Chondrosarcoma of a rib is a very rare malignant tumor of the bone. Most patients were present with an enlarging painful anterior chest wall tumor. We present a case of an asymptomatic 29-years old female with a tumor size of 10cm×12cm on the left anterior chest wall involving the 8th rib. CT scan with intravenous contrast is the gold standard for radiological imaging and planning for surgery. Since chondrosarcoma is less sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgical treatment with extensive resection with a sufficient margin is considered first line treatment.
