Abstract:
The chest wall can be defined as the osseous and soft tissue structures that form the outer framework of the thorax and move during breathing. Topics discussed in this article include physiologic uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose, benign diseases of the chest wall, and malignant tumors of the chest wall.
