Primary Mediastinal Synovial Sarcoma with Pericardial Involvement: A Case Report
Mediastinal synovial sarcomas are rare, aggressive, and highly morbid neoplasms. In some cases, they may present insidiously due to their sole presenting clinical manifestation being pericardial effusion. Particular care should be taken to rule out malignancy with MRI or PET-guided imaging in the AYA-aged population when idiopathic, recurrent pericardial effusion is found.
