Resumo
Neoplasms originating in chest organs are important not only for their incidence but also for the complexity of their treatment. Given the presence of vital structures such as heart, lung, and great vessels, multidisciplinary treatment is often necessary. Lung cancer is a major concern given its high incidence and lethality, besides being the neoplasm with the significant relation to thromboembolic events. Mediastinal tumors originating in the thymus gland and germinative cell tumors require special attention from the vascular surgeon since their treatment is sometimes composed of complex vascular reconstructions or endovascular therapy beyond the technical knowledge of the thoracic surgeon. Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma, although rare, is an important differential diagnosis for pulmonary thromboembolism and requires adequate surgical treatment for a better prognosis. In this chapter, we review these thoracic neoplasms and their vascular implications. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
