Purpose: Malignant chest wall tumors are rare in pediatrics. They require multimodal oncological treatment and local surgical control. Resections are extensive; therefore, thoracoplasty should be planned to protect intrathoracic organs, prevent herniation, future deformities, preserve ventilatory dynamics, and enable radiotherapy.

- Pediatric thyroid cancers are rare, making up only 0.7% of tumors, with higher occurrences in women and adolescents; various risk factors include genetic syndromes and exposure to radiation.
- The study analyzed data from 255 pediatric thyroid cancer cases over 20 years, revealing that secondary tumors were rare (5.1%) but showed higher rates of relapse and surgical complications.
- Overall survival rates were very high (99% at 1 year, 97% at 10 years), with no significant differences in event-free survival between primary and secondary tumors.
Tumors of the abdominal wall are rare, divided into benign and malignant lesions that are composed of primary tumors and by the parietal invasion of intra-abdominal tumors and metastatic parietal implants. In the case of metastases in the abdominal wall, the most frequent are metastases from neoplasms of colonic origin. The case described below is that of a 68-year-old patient with a history of stage IIA left lung adenocarcinoma who received partial response radiotherapy with an indication for chemotherapy, which she refused and lost follow-up.
