This study analyzed 81 chest wall tumors, finding benign lesions more common. However, due to diagnostic challenges, all bony chest wall tumors warrant wide excision for potential malignancy and cure.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary chest wall tumors are rare and can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Distinguishing benign from malignant lesions clinically and radiologically is often difficult.
  • Pathological differentiation may not always be definitive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical, radiological, and surgical features of primary chest wall tumors.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes and survival rates for these tumors.
  • To establish optimal management strategies for bony chest wall lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 81 cases of primary chest wall tumors.
  • Analysis of tumor location (ribs vs. sternum), histology (benign vs. malignant), and treatment modalities.

  • Evaluation of patient outcomes, including recurrence rates and survival.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 81 cases, 44 were benign and 37 malignant, predominantly affecting the ribs.
    • Benign rib tumors were more frequent than malignant ones (5:4 ratio).
    • Five-year and 10-year survival rates for malignant tumors after radical excision were 43% and 27%, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical and radiological differentiation between benign and malignant chest wall tumors is challenging.
    • All bony chest wall tumors should be treated as potentially malignant.
    • Wide excision is recommended for diagnosis and to maximize the chance of cure for malignant lesions.
