Primary tumors of the mediastinum and chest wall comprise a diverse group of conditions with a wide range of presentations. A thorough knowledge of thoracic anatomy is essential for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Given their proximity to critical structures, treatment of these tumors is often challenging. Although surgery is the mainstay of therapy for most mediastinal and chest wall tumors, a multidisciplinary approach is valuable in many cases.
纵隔和胸壁的原发性肿瘤是一组具有广泛表现的多种疾病。对胸部解剖结构的透彻了解对于正确的诊断和治疗至关重要。由于这些肿瘤靠近关键结构,因此治疗常常具有挑战性。尽管手术是大多数纵隔和胸壁肿瘤的主要治疗方法,但在许多情况下,多学科方法是有价值的。
