Whole-lung irradiation (WLI) is standard of care in the treatment of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and Wilms tumor and pulmonary metastases. However, it is not routinely utilized in the treatment of pulmonary metastases arising from other soft tissue sarcoma histologies. A patient presented with synovial sarcoma of his groin and punctate pulmonary metastases. After completion of multimodality treatment to his primary lesion, he received WLI. The patient is without evidence of disease at 3.8 years. This case demonstrates the need for further study of WLI in synovial sarcoma as it may improve outcomes in patients with this disease.
全肺照射（WLI）是横纹肌肉瘤、尤因肉瘤和肾母细胞瘤及肺转移患者治疗的标准护理方法。然而，它在治疗其他软组织肉瘤组织学类型引起的肺转移时并非常规使用。一名患者腹股沟出现滑膜肉瘤并伴有点状肺转移。在对其原发灶完成多模式治疗后，他接受了全肺照射。该患者在3.8年时无疾病证据。此病例表明需要对滑膜肉瘤中的全肺照射进行进一步研究，因为它可能改善该疾病患者的预后。
