Chest Wall Resection

Overview and Facts about Chest Wall Resection

The chest wall is the area surrounding your lungs. This structure is made up of fat, muscles and skin. It also includes the bones in your ribcage.

Tumors in the chest wall are rare, but they sometimes occur. If you develop a chest wall tumor, you may need surgery to remove it. This procedure is called a chest wall resection.
