A 36-year-old female with a remote history of spontaneous pneumothorax treated with talc pleurodesis presented with a large anterior mediastinal synovial sarcoma. The mass developed within a residual asymptomatic mediastinal space during a 2-year period. The patient underwent complete surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which provide the best chance for survival. Although the cause of these tumors is unclear, this report may further delineate the natural history of this rare pathologic process.
一名36岁女性,既往有滑石粉胸膜固定术治疗的特发性气胸病史,现诊断为巨大前纵隔滑膜肉瘤。该肿块在2年时间内于残留无症状的纵隔间隙内形成。患者接受了完整的手术切除及辅助放化疗,这为其生存提供了最佳机会。尽管这些肿瘤的病因尚不清楚,但本报告可能会进一步阐明这一罕见病理过程的自然史。
