Abstract

Primary synovial sarcoma of the thorax is extremely rare. The involvement of lung, pleura or chest wall may be seen and sometimes more than one of these structures may be effected. The preoperative chest radiography of a 55-year-old male patient operated for a mass lesion detected on chest wall revealed a mass lesion at the inferior zone of the right hemithorax which was not discernible from the diaphragma. Thorax CTexamination revealed a sharply marginated mass lesion with dimensionsof97x72 mm, located adjacent tothe right middle lobe, having a wide pleural base and extending through the intercostal space to the chest wall. Rare synovial sarcoma of the thorax should be considered in the diferential diagnosis of the primary malignant neoplasms of the thorax, though the imaging findings are non-specific.

Özet

Toraksın primer sinovyal sarkomu oldukça nadirdir. Akciğer, plevra veya göğüs duvarı tutulumu görülebildiği gibi bu bölgelerin birden fazlası da tutulabilir. Göğüs duvarında kitle saptanması nedeniyle opere edilen ve operasyon materyaline ait doku tanısı monofazik sinovyal sarkom olarak raporlanan, 55 yaşındaki erkek hastanın operasyon öncesindeki PA akciğer grafisinde sağ hemitoraks alt zonda, diyafragmadan net olarak sınırlandırılamayan kitle görünümü izlendi. Toraks BT incelemesinde sağ akciğer orta lob komşuluğunda, plevraya geniş tabanla oturan, interkostal alanlardan göğüs duvarına uzanan, 97x72 mm boyutlarında düzgün sınırlı kitle saptandı. Tanımlanan görüntüleme bulguları özgül olmamakla birlikte, ayırıcı tanıda toraksın primer malign neoplazmları içerisinde nadir görülen sinovyal sarkom da göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
