We present the first case of a thoracic ranula which originated from the left submandibular area extending into the subcutaneous tissue planes of the anterior chest wall. The patient had a history of surgery for a previous benign left salivary gland cyst, and presented with an enlarging mass in the anterior chest wall. This was a recurrence of a ranula, with an extension into the anterior thoracic wall. The thoracic ranula was excised, together with ipsilateral sublingual and submandibular glands, via a transcervical approach. No recurrence was detected over a 3-year post-operative follow up.

Chondrosarcoma is the most common malignancy of the sternum. Removal of the sternum for a malignant tumor results in large defects in bone and soft tissue, causing deformity and paradoxical chest wall movement, making subsequent repair of the thorax very important. Herein we report a rare case of recurrent anterior chest wall chondrosarcoma after surgery 4 years earlier. The patient underwent resection of the chondrosarcoma followed by three-layer chest wall reconstruction with a split rib graft for the bony defect. He had an uneventful postoperative course and was healthy at 9 months postoperatively.
