An unusual endobronchial lesion: expanding the differential diagnosis
Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumour, accounting for approximately 2.5–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. In the thorax, it most often presents as a large, homogenous mass and, most commonly, is the result of extrathoracic tumour metastasis. Here, we report a case of a 73‐year‐old male who presented to t...

description | Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumour, accounting for approximately 2.5–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. In the thorax, it most often presents as a large, homogenous mass and, most commonly, is the result of extrathoracic tumour metastasis. Here, we report a case of a 73‐year‐old male who presented to the hospital after a motor vehicle collision. Chest computed tomography demonstrated a 2.0 × 2.4 cm left lower lobe pulmonary nodule with endobronchial extension and a 2.5 × 2.1 cm right‐sided kidney mass. He was eventually diagnosed with monophasic synovial sarcoma. To date, only seven other cases of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma with endobronchial extension have been reported. A review of the cases and literature is discussed. |
