Classification of the Volume of Tumor Lesion of the Chest Wall as A Prerequisite for Planning Surgical Treatment
Tumors of the chest wall are a heterogenous group of neoplasms per nosology, clinical progression, and treatment methods. Primary tumors of this location, according to some authors, comprise between 1 and 5 %, and 60 % of them are malignant. Tumors of the chest wall can have not only various nosological forms but also varying volume, location, affect different structures of the chest wall which are determined during physical exam. Despite the progress in drug therapy, radical surgical intervention is a prerequisite for successful treatment of patients with malignant tumors of the chest wall

Osteoid osteoma is a rare benign osteogenic bone tumor without malignant potential causing severe night pain relieved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Pain associated with osteoid osteoma of the spine cannot be treated conservatively and requires surgical approach. Types of surgical treatment include intralesional curettage, marginal resection, or en bloc tumor resection. However, absence of clear intraoperative visualization of the lesion often leads to excessive resection of vertebral structures requiring additional bone reconstruction and fixation with metal structures.

Verification of pathomorphological diagnosis is a key stage in selection of treatment tactics in patients with neoplasms. Understanding of the nature of pathological process is especially important in context of primary tumors of the bones, soft tissues and metastases as despite active development of diagnostic techniques, they do not al- low to obtain full information on histological nature of the tissues, differentiation grade, as well as molecular and genetic characteristics of the tumor. These data are associated with selection of optimal treatment tactics at every stage and disease pro

Merkel’s carcinoma is a neuroendocrine malignant epithelial skin tumor, rapidly progressive, prone to local recurrence and metastasis to regional lymph nodes and internal organs. The etiology and pathogenesis of Merkel’s carcinoma are still an insufficiently studied issue. Because of its rare occurrence, only single observations of Merkel’s carcinoma metastasis without an identified primary focus, most often with regional lymph node involvement, have been described in the world literature. This article presents a clinical case of metastatic lesion of inguinal lymph nodes w
