Thirty-five patients who had undergone surgery for non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma with isolated involvement of the chest wall were reviewed. The diagnosis was preoperatively suspected in 80% of cases. En-bloc resection of the invaded chest wall was performed in 25 cases and parietal pleurectomy in ten in which the pleura was easily dissectable from the costal plane. Of the eight patients with major complications in the early postoperative period, six, including the two who died perioperatively, had undergone en-block resection. The 5-year actuarial survival rate was 22% overall and 36% in the patients without lymph node involvement. No significant relationship between survival and type of operation or degree of chest wall invasion was found. Isolated involvement of the chest wall by non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma does not necessarily contraindicate surgery with curative intent. Parietal pleurectomy is valid in selected cases. Long-term survival depends basically on node involvement.
