【Summary】The basic characteristics of thoracic wall tumors are extremely important, these characteristics not only determine the size, shape, biological characteristics, pathogenesis, hazards, outcomes and prognosis of tumors, but also determine the specific signs and symptoms of tumor patients, and ultimately have a decisive impact on the diagnosis and treatment of patients, so it is necessary to carefully understand.
The chest wall is composed of three basic structures, namely bony structure, soft tissue and skin, corresponding to which the chest wall tumor can come from three structures, namely bone structure tumor, soft tissue tumor and skin tumor. At the cellular level, tumors can occur in every cell. Summarizing the various tumors reported in the literature, the following can be seen:
Malignant lymphoma, Malignant mesothelioma, Malignant sternoplastic lymphoma, Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, Osteocytoma, Osteosarcoma, Myeloma, Osteochondroma, Osteochondroma, Osteochondrocyte tumor, Osteochondrocyte tumor, Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, Rib hemangioma, Poor bone fiber structure (fibrous dysproliferation), Benign mesophyloma of the ribs, Giant cell tumor of the ribs, Osteosiosarcoma differentiated in the ribs, Differentiated chondrosarcoma of the ribs, Osteosarcoma of the ribs, Intracosal angioproliferation, Paraostasarcoma of the ribs, Rib lipoma, Rib chondroblastoma, Rib non-ossified fibroma, Rib serous chondrosarcoma, Rib primary aneurysm-like bone cyst, Costochondromatoblastoma, Intercostal lobe chondrosarcoma, Rib hemangioma with cartilage metaplasia, Intercostal lobe chondrosarcoma, Rib cartilage myxoscinoma, Endogenous chondroidoma, Malignant fibroblastoma, Malignant mesothelioma, Eosinophilic granuloma, Aggressive fibromatosis, Phosphateuria stromal tumor, Mesophylhistomymal tumor, Mesophylitis hamartomega, Transverse striated muscle tumor, Cavernous hemangioma, Synovial sarcoma, Fibroma, Itchy cyst, Dermatofibrosarcoma, Plasma cell tumor, Liposarcoma, Askin tumor, Cavernous hemangioma, Epidermoid cyst, Aneurysmal bone cyst, Angliomatous, Angliomatous, Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma, Lipoma, Adenocytic soft tissue sarcoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, Isolated pleural fibroma, Soft tissue sarcoma, Chondrosarcoma, Elastin fibroma, Fibroma, Poor fibrostructure, Primitive neuroectodermal parietal tumor, Microcytic malignancy, Neurofibrosarcoma, Spindle cell sarcoma, Schwannoma, Angioleiomyoma, Schwannosarcoma, Chondrooma, Fibroliphemangioma, Sternal giant cell tumor Hemangioma, Neuroblastoma, Neurofibroma, Hemangiopithelial sarcoma, Fibroma, Fibroma, Fibrosa, Fibroblastoma, Fibrosarcoma, Fibrosarcoma, Pleural mesothelioma. These names reveal the cellular origin of thoracic wall tumors and their most essential pathological properties. For a chest wall surgeon to treat a chest wall tumor, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of these sources.
The above types of tumors are different and varied, and it is difficult to find regularity from them. These tumors are not often encountered, and the more common tumors have the following specific types: (1) benign tumors: chondroma, osteochondroma, fibroproliferative disease, fibrofibroma, bone giant cell tumor, eosinophilic granuloma, osteoblastoma, sclerofibroma, aneurysmal bone cyst, fibroidoma, hemangioma, myxotropic lipoma, schwannoma, neurofibroma, etc.; (2) malignant tumors: leiomyoma, plasma cell myeloma, fibrosarcoma, sternum Hodgkin's disease, rhabdomyosarcoma, Costochondrosarcoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, malignant schwannoma, angioleisoma, and various malignant metastases.
Benign tumors grow slowly, the size is limited, and there can be obvious boundaries with the surrounding structure, the main harm is local compression, but it is possible to malignant changes and form malignant tumors. Malignant tumors grow rapidly, are prone to infiltration to the surrounding areas, and the boundaries are generally unclear, and can metastasize to distant distances.
The basic characteristics of chest wall tumors are extremely important, these characteristics not only determine the size, shape, biological characteristics, pathogenesis, pathogenesis, harm, outcome and prognosis of the tumor, but also determine the specific signs and symptoms of tumor patients, and ultimately have a decisive impact on the diagnosis and treatment of patients, so it needs to be carefully understood.
