Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2011 Feb;19(1):72-5. doi: 10.1177/0218492310394466.

Abstract

Primary pulmonary synovial cell sarcoma is a rare tumor without specific symptoms, signs, or radiological features. The role of functional imaging has not yet been evaluated, and diagnosis is usually made on histopathological examination. Positron-emission computed tomography findings and surgical resection in a 22-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman are described.
