Chest Wall Tumours: Management and Outcomes
Abstract
Chest wall tumors are rare entities comprising a
wide range of benign and malignant tumors. They may be
primary or metastatic. These tumors can originate from
various tissues of the chest wall including bone, cartilage
and soft tissue. Most remain asymptomatic and undetected
in their initial stages and come to light when patients notice
an obvious swelling or when they present to the clinician
with vague symptoms or pain Evaluation of these tumors
includes chest X-ray and CT-Scan followed by a tissue
diagnosis either by fine needle aspiration, core biopsy or
excision biopsy. Extensive resection may be required for
locally invasive malignant lesions necessitating
reconstructive procedures. Long term follow-up is
mandatory for malignant lesions.
