A chest-wall tumour is an abnormal growth arising from tissues that make up the chest wall like ribs, cartilage, muscle, or soft tissue. These tumours may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Many are rare. Even benign tumours may need attention if they grow large or press against lungs or other organs. Malignant ones require prompt treatment, so early evaluation is important.

Can you get surgery for epilepsy?
Yes, but this is only an option for someone who has a very serious form or epilepsy, so for the vast majority of people it is not an option. It could even be dangerous, as any operation on the brain can be dangerous. Someone with a minor form or epilepsy would not be considered for surgery. Many people with more serious types would not be considered for surgery either. It is really only for very severe cases. Some brain surgery is done for serious things like removing a brain tumour. A brain tumour can cause seizures, so removing the tumour could also stop the seizures. There can also be other damage to the brain, which is not a tumour but may be causing seizures. If it is safe to remove it, the person may be considered for surgery.
