Abstract

Primary pulmonary tumors of the lung and chest wall are rare tumors in children of all ages. Their symptoms are generally nonspecific, which often leads to a delay in diagnosis as nonneoplastic diseases are far more common in children. However, both cancernous and noncancerous tumors can be discovered in the lungs and chest wall, and a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis. The majority of cancerous tumors found in the lungs in children are metastatic lesions, while primary cancers predominante in pedaitric chest wall lesions. Definitive treatments vary widely depending on the histopathology of the cancer, and adequate diagnostic and staging procedures are critical. However, surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment in almost all tumors found in the lungs and chest wall in children, regardless of age.
