Primary pleural synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is a rare malignant pleural tumor comprising < 1% of all primary lung malignancies. Primary pleural mesothelioma (PPM) has many similar features that may cause a diagnostic dilemma due to overlapping clinical and histopathological features. We present the case of a young male with recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion without any obvious lung mass who was diagnosed with PPSS. This rare entity must be considered with a high index of suspicion while evaluating pleural tumors.
原发性胸膜滑膜肉瘤 (PPSS) 是一种罕见的恶性胸膜肿瘤,占所有原发性肺部恶性肿瘤的<1%。原发性胸膜间皮瘤 (PPM) 具有许多相似的特征,由于重叠的临床和组织病理学特征,可能导致诊断上的困境。我们报告了一例年轻男性,反复出现血性胸腔积液,无明显肺部肿块,被诊断为 PPSS。在评估胸膜肿瘤时,必须高度怀疑这种罕见实体。
