Surgical approach for resection of tumours involving the thoracic inlet has largely been developed in the context of lung cancer of the superior sulcus. Therefore, initial anterior approaches included a thoracotomy associated with a longitudinal cervicotomy. Here, we describe a variation of the previously described anterior surgical approaches of the thoracic inlet that we performed for the resection of a primary mesenchymal tumour of the left middle scalenus muscle secreting fibroblast growth factor-23 responsible for tumour-induced osteomalacia. This approach allowed a safe control of the great vessels phrenic nerve and brachial plexus as well as a comfortable access to the middle scalenus muscle through an L-shaped incision with a cervico-manubriotomy without thoracotomy. The tumour was resected entirely with the middle scalenus. After 3 months of follow-up, the symptoms resolved entirely.
