We describe a rare case of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) that occurred in a pediatric patient and evaluated by 18F-FDG PET/CT. A 14-year-old male patient underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for metabolic characterization of a left pulmonary mass which showed increased 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax = 4.5). Based on this PET/CT finding, the patient underwent a CTguided biopsy which demonstrated the presence of a PPSS. Other sites of disease were excluded. 18F-FDG PET/CT may be useful for staging pediatric patients with PPSS.
我们描述了一例罕见的儿童原发性肺滑膜肉瘤（PPSS）病例，该病例通过 18F-FDG PET/CT 进行评估。一名 14 岁男性患者因左肺肿块的代谢特征进行 18F-FDG PET/CT 检查，结果显示 18F-FDG 摄取增加（SUVmax = 4.5）。基于这一 PET/CT 结果，患者接受了 CT 引导下的活检，结果显示存在原发性肺滑膜肉瘤。排除了其他部位的疾病。18F-FDG PET/CT 对小儿原发性肺滑膜肉瘤患者的分期可能有用。
