pubmed:abstractText |
A 47-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for cough and dyspnea. Roentgenologic studies and bronchoscopy revealed multiple lung tumors one of which obstructed the right main bronchus. Right pneumonectomy was performed for the pending obstruction of the trachea. The tumor in the right S1 was found to be protruding into the trachea through the right B1 and the main bronchus in a polypoid fashion. The pathological diagnosis of synovial sarcoma was made on the basis of the characteristic biphasic structure composed of spindle cells and epithelioid cells forming gland-like spaces. Three years and eight months after the pneumonectomy, a nodule in the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus muscle became palpable. It was also a synovial sarcoma pathologically. Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma which usually arises in the extremities. It is very rare for pulmonary metastasis of this tumor to be found while the primary tumor is undetectable.
