Primary and Secondary Tumors of the Diaphragm

Natalie Baldes et al. Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Primary tumors of the diaphragm are rare. Secondary tumors of the diaphragm with origin in thoracic or abdominal cavity occur more frequent than primary tumors. In most cases, the therapy of choice includes a complete surgical resection of these tumors. This article reports on different types of tumors of the diaphragm, as well as surgical and reconstructive techniques.
