Primary mediastinal giant synovial sarcoma: A rare case report

Synovial sarcoma has been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002 as a type of mesenchymal tissue cell tumor that exhibits epithelial differentiation and represents the third most common soft-tissue sarcoma in adults, accounting for approximately 10% of soft-tissue sarcomas. To date,...
