“…In addition, 71% (20/28) showed pleural metastasis, and 48% of the patients with lung metastasis had only ipsilateral lesions 28 . When the tumor involves the heart, echocardiography and MRI are helpful for preoperative diagnosis 29 . Therefore, image monitoring provides omni‐directional monitoring for patients and provides an important basis for future treatment plans 30 …”

Whole‐exome sequencing in primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma misdiagnosed as mesothelioma: A case report and literature review

Synovial sarcoma is a highly malignant tumor that accounts for 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is extremely rare, and its prognosis is poor. A diagnosis is usually established after other primary lung malignancies or metastatic extrathoracic sarcomas have been excluded. Therefore, it is often misdiagnosed. In this study, we report the case of a 38-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed as having pleural mesothelioma and finally endured surgery to remove the tumor. The tumor showed SYT-SSX fusion transcripts and was diagnosed as PPSS after combining histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. Finally, we determined some biomarkers through whole-exome sequencing (WES) to improve the diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma mimicking a carcinoid tumor: Case report and literature review

Primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma is a rare malignancy. Commonly described radiologic features in the literature include pleural disease and/or effusion, lack of calcification and high uptake on positron emission tomography computerised tomography. A 68-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of cough. Imaging studies showed a right upper lobe mass with internal foci of calcification, endobronchial extension, and low fluorodeoxyglucose avidity on positron emission tomography computerised tomography, leading to an initial diagnosis of carcinoid tumor. However, histologic specimens suggested an unexpected diagnosis of aggressive synovial sarcoma, and the case was referred to the sarcoma MDT. Metastatic synovial sarcoma was ruled out, and radical surgical excision of the lesion was performed. This article highlights the multiple atypical features of primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma as seen in this case and reviews imaging findings described in the literature. Radiologists should be aware of this unusual yet aggressive type of sarcoma.
