Primary Pulmonary Synovial Sarcoma; A Case Report of a Large Lung Mass

Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma which arises from immature mesenchymal tissue and has been described to occur in close relation to tendons, tendon sheaths and bursal structures. Synovial sarcoma can also occur in the lung, which is known to be part of a very rare subset of primary lung malignancies. There is no standard management for primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) but it is recommended that resection is done as early as possible. We describe a case of a 37-year-old male with a large primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS). This report includes the diagnostic process and the adopted treatment approach for this patient.
