However, primary chest wall sarcomas can be incidentally detected upon chest X-ray or computed tomography. Previous studies of incidental primary chest wall sarcomas lack prognosis and disease-specific clinical data. This study aimed to investigate the prognoses of patients with incidental chest wall sarcomas and compare them with those of symptomatic patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study included 18 patients diagnosed with primary chest wall sarcoma between 2010 and 2023.

The pathological diagnoses of the patients were Ewing sarcoma, Chondrosarcoma grade 1, grade 2, periosteal osteosarcoma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. The patients had no symptoms at the first visit to our hospital, and no lesions in other organs were detected at the time of the initial examination. At the final follow-up, the patients remained disease-free after radical treatment. The tumour sizes of the five patients were significantly smaller than those of patients with symptoms (P\u00a0=\u00a00.003).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
