Primary Pulmonary Synovial Sarcoma: A Very Rare Presentation

Primary Pulmonary Synovial Sarcoma: A Very Rare Presentation

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare tumor originating from mesenchymal tissue and accounting for approximately 5–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. A rare case of primary pulmonary SS in an asymptomatic 18-year-old man admitted to our hospital for investigation of a 6 × 6.5 cm, oval-shaped, well-delineate...
