Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Synovial sarcomas are a distinct clinical entity occurring most often in the lower extremities. They account for 10-14% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Pulmonary synovial sarcomas are quite rare and account for less than 0.5% of all intra-thoracic neoplasms. We present the first reported case of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma with intra cardiac extension in a 53-year-old male who presented with chronic cough. Imaging revealed a large right upper lobe mass extending through the superior pulmonary veins into the left atrium. The patient underwent a right total pneumonectomy with extraction of the left atrial mass and left atrial reconstruction. Pathology and immunohistochemistry was diagnostic of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma positive for SYT-SSX1 gene fusion transcription. |
