Introduction
Synovialosarcomas (SS) are high-grade malignancies. They most commonly affect the soft tissues of the extremities, mainly in a periarticular distribution (1).
Thoracic involvement is rare and includes parietal, pulmonary and mediastinal sarcomas (2). Primary thoracic sarcomas and especially lung sarcomas are very rare compared with metastatic sarcomas (2,3).
Primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma (SS) was first described in 1995 (1). The cases described focused on the histopathological features of the tumour. The radiological features of primary thoracic SS have not yet been studied in a formal series. Some authors have attempted to define the radiological characteristics of primary thoracic SS and to correlate the findings with clinical and pathological features (1).
Through this observation of a patient with a primary synovialosarcoma of the lung, we describe the clinical and radiological features of this rare thoracic tumor.
