【Summary】 Chest wall tumors have specific hazards, and corresponding clinical manifestations will be corresponding. The diagnosis of a tumor requires an understanding of the tumor itself, but it also requires information about the surrounding structures. Differential diagnosis has some significance, but it is not unnecessary. As long as there is a placeholder of the chest wall, if there is no contraindication, surgery is required.
The main harm of chest wall tumors is twofold: (1) local harm. Local hazards are mainly damage to local cell structures or local compression, which ultimately affect the function of local organs; (2) systemic hazards. Systemic hazards are multifaceted hazards, which are reflected in the damage of different organ functions, the corresponding hazards caused by distant transfer, and the consumption of the body. The harm of tumors can be that patients show two basic clinical manifestations, one is the local manifestation of the tumor, and the other is the manifestation of the whole body. The most obvious local manifestation is pain. The pain can be dull or tingling. In addition, there can be a local feeling of oppression. Systemic manifestations may be impaired organ function or associated lesions after tumor metastasis. If the tumor lasts longer, there may be systemic consumable lesions.
When diagnosing a tumor of the chest wall, the following basic information needs to be understood: (1) information about the tumor itself; (2) information about the relationship with the surrounding structure; (3) information about the surrounding structure; (4) information on the condition of the whole body. The understanding of this information is not only related to the diagnosis of the tumor, but also related to the treatment of the tumor, so it is very important and must be fully understood before surgery.
Differential diagnosis is mainly to distinguish from benign lesions, common benign lesions include abscesses, tuberculosis or specific deformities. From the perspective of understanding tumors, differential diagnosis is very necessary. However, sometimes it is not easy to understand the nature of the lesion, so from the perspective of surgery alone, the differential diagnosis is not very meaningful. In general, surgery is indicated whenever there is a placeholder, and surgery is mandatory if there are no clear contraindications. From this point of view, the significance of differential diagnosis is not too great.
Thoracic wall surgery includes orthopedic and orthopedics, which makes the work of thoracic wall surgery two more dimensions: one is the width of the field of vision, and the other is the depth of field of view. The content of the two dimensions provides a broader vision for thoracic wall surgery, and also provides more beneficial methods and approaches.
