title: Primary and Secondary Tumors of the Diaphragm.
abstract: Primary tumors of the diaphragm are rare. Secondary tumors of the diaphragm with origin in thoracic or abdominal cavity occur more frequent than primary tumors. In most cases, the therapy of choice includes a complete surgical resection of these tumors. This article reports on different types of tumors of the diaphragm, as well as surgical and reconstructive techniques.
