Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

  • Pathology

Background:

  • The case involves a 9-year-old male presenting with thoracic pain.
  • Diagnostic workup included chest X-ray, ultrasonography, and thoracic computed tomography.

Observation:

  • Imaging revealed a thoracic wall tumor.
  • Surgical exploration identified an invasive bone-originating tumoral mass.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination confirmed the tumor as an Askin tumor.
  • This rare tumor presented as an invasive mass of bone origin.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging in diagnosing pediatric thoracic tumors.
