A 24‐year‐old male patient was admitted to our center complaining of dizziness (superior vena cava syndrome [SVCS]), dysphagia and pain in the right chest wall. At the initial diagnosis, the patient had been found to have an irregular shaped 35 × 30 × 27 cm mass in the right side of his chest. On November 12, 2019, this patient received surgery in our center. The right sixth rib and the tumor were completely removed (R0), while preserving all the lung tissue and other organs in the chest. The patient recovered well after surgery, and his right lung was fully expanded.
