Abstract

Introduction: Thoracic giant masses do not have a clear definition. In some publications, giant thoracic mass definition is used in tumors whose long axis is> 10 cm and in other publications covering more than 50% of the hemithorax. In this study, demographic data of patients with a massive resectable giant thoracic mass and the difficulties and experiences experienced in the peroperative process were reviewed with a general perspective.
