Curved Axillary Incision with Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery : An Alternative Approach for Teenage Female with Large Apical Chest Wall Tumor

Primary chest wall tumors are rare, their common clinical features are not well known, and surgical resection remains the main treatment. Apical chest wall tumors require large skin incisions and dissection of the chest wall muscles, making it difficult to maintain cosmetic appearance, respiratory function, and support of the upper extremity. There are few treatment options and no studies have reported on thoracotomy that spares muscles and preserves cosmetic superiority. However, in benign chest wall tumors in young patients, it is necessary to consider radicality, cosmetic superiority, and muscle sparing. We used a combined axillary incision and thoracoscopic approach to treat a massive myxoid neurofibroma at the apical chest wall in a 14-year-old female and were able to preserve the chest wall, upper limb function, and cosmetic aspects. This report provides a detailed description of the combined axillary incision and thoracoscopic approach for apical chest wall tumors.
