Abstract: | Desmoid tumors of the chest wall following chest surgery are a rare occurrence. A case of this disease is reported herein
together with a review of the literature. A 74-year-old man, who had previously undergone a right lower lobectomy for squamous
cell carcinoma of the lung, was referred to our hospital with an abnormal shadow on his chest X-ray. The tumor, located in
the right lateral chest wall, was successfully resected by an aggressive, wide extirpation, and a final diagnosis of a desmoid
tumor originating in the chest wall was made. When following up patients after surgery for lung cancer, the possibility of
desmoid tumors developing in the incised chest wall should therefore be kept in mind. |
