[Surgical treatment of chest wall tumors].
The observation of a primary chest wall desmoid tumor discovered incidentally in a young patient is an opportunity to review the nosology, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon pathology. Surgical intervention should aim at resecting completely the lesion with sufficient margins. Subsequent reconstruction of the bony thorax uses synthetic materials and muscle or myocutaneous flaps.
