Chest wall tumor - An unusual presentation
Author(s): Mehwish Aslam*
The chest wall consists of soft tissues, cartilage and bones. A large
part of the masses originates from soft tissue. Chest wall tumours
constitute 5% of thoracic and less than 1% of all primary tumours;
40% and 60% are malignant. Tumours may originate primarily in
the chest wall and metastasize to or extend into it via local invasion
from adjacent structures. Morbidity and mortality are specific to
the particular tumour type. We report a case of a 42-year-old male
with complaints of a painful lump on the right chest wall, which,
after surgical removal, showed spindle cell sarcoma stage 2. Primary
Spindle Cell Sarcoma (SCS) is an extremely rare entity and one of
the least reported tumours. It is a type of connective tissue tumour
that generally begins in layers of connective tissue under the skin,
between muscles and surrounding organs. .. View More»
