PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Chest wall tumors are a rare collection of benign and malignant tumors involving the various layers of the thorax. Primary chest wall tumors constitute approximately 1% of all tumors. Of chest wall tumors, approximately half are benign, and half malignant. Management varies based on tumor type and risk of malignancy. Given the rare nature of chest wall tumors, formal guidelines for their management are lacking.
