The review article provides information about metastases of solid tumors in the lungs: from pathogenesis and the first experience of metastasectomy to a combined local method of therapeutic treatment. According to the literature, lung metastasectomy is part of the standard treatment for adults, but information about the surgical treatment of metastatic lesions in children remains poorly understood. As a rule, metastatic lesion accompanies the progression of the tumor process. Since the 1960s, methods of isolated lung perfusion have been developed, the results of which are reflected in a few articles, but most of the studies are aimed at exploring the possibilities of use and at the direct results of the implementation of this technique.
