Intraoperative findings. (a) In the supine position with the right arm abducted, the right clavicle was carefully exposed without damaging the tumor capsule. (b) An osteotomy was made 8 cm from the proximal edge of the clavicle (arrows). (c) Disarticulation of the sternoclavicular joint was then performed. (d) The tumor, resected en-bloc with half of the clavicle, had a thin, fragile cortex, but no extension to the soft tissue. (e) The residual clavicular length was 7.5 cm on postoperative roentgenography. (f) No displacement of the resection edge of the clavicle was observed
