The heterogeneity of thoracic wall tumors often represents challenging clinical entities for surgeons due to diagnostic and treatment complexities. The primary tumors, metastases, or direct invasion ...from intrathoracic structures comprise almost half of all cases on average that are proved to be malignant. Surgery treatment usually leaves large chest defects that require further extensive reconstruction and multimodal management including radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We report a rare case of a giant (30 cm) post-traumatic bleeding thoracic sarcoma treatment in a 70-year-old female. The use of our modified Verneuil technique to close the extensive postoperative skin defect optimized surgical wound management and provided good functional and aesthetic results. Four-year follow-up outcomes after surgical and adjuvant radiation therapy reported a high level of tumor control and showed no evidence of postoperative disease recurrence.

Adrenal gland incidentaloma (incidental - sudden, accidental) is a mass of the adrenal gland(s), accidentally detected by an instru-mental examination conducted for other reasons. The frequency of ...detection of this pathology based on computer tomography of the abdominal organs is 0.5%-2%. In most cases, the mass is represented by adrenocortical adenomas without hormonal secretion. It is an extremely rare case (less than 1% of all cases) when the adrenal incidentaloma is a primary adrenal lymphoma, which accounts for 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 3% of all extranodal lymphomas with a few cases reported in the literature. In our article, we present a case of left adrenal incidentaloma of the adrenal gland, which, during further observation and examination, increased in size, which was the reason for performing laparoscopic adrenalectomy. According to the results of the histological examination, the mass turned out to be diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
