Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is a very rare tumor, thus there is no consensus as to the most appropriate management. A 78-year-old man presented with nonspecific symptoms of weight loss and shortness of breath. Imaging confirmed a large right-sided mass and accompanying pleural effusion. Strong 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was found on positron-emission tomography. The preoperative work-up and intraoperative frozen section were inconclusive. Immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis confirmed the diagnosis of primary pulmonary monophasic synovial sarcoma.
原发性肺滑膜肉瘤是一种非常罕见的肿瘤，因此对于最合适的治疗方法尚无共识。一名78岁男性出现体重减轻和呼吸急促等非特异性症状。影像学检查证实右侧有一个大肿块并伴有胸腔积液。正电子发射断层扫描发现有强烈的18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖摄取。术前检查和术中冰冻切片检查结果不明确。免疫组织化学和分子分析确诊为原发性肺单相滑膜肉瘤。
