Primary lung and chest wall tumors, as well as lung metastases, are rare diseases in children. Thoracic surgery, as part of multimodal cancer treatment, has been shown to greatly improve survival in pediatric patients with solid tumors. This review article aims to summarize the indications and current surgical treatment options for malignant chest wall and lung tumors, while also shedding light on the current role of pulmonary metastasectomy in children.
