Synovial sarcomas represent an extremely rare subtype of an already rare group of malignancies, soft tissue sarcomas. Among these, primary pulmonary synovial sarcomas comprise an even smaller number, though they have become more frequently reported in the literature. This case report details a case of giant primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma in a 44-year-old male patient who presented with left-sided chest pain and shortness of breath and was found to have a large left-sided pleural effusion. No malignant cells were demonstrated on cytology of pleural fluid after thoracentesis; however, CT-guided needle biopsy of pleural nodules seen on imaging demonstrated pathologic features consistent with monophasic type synovial sarcoma. He was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with minimal response; thus, he was referred for surgical management. A left extrapleural pneumonectomy with resection of the left hemi-diaphragm and Gore-Tex prosthetic reconstruction was performed. Imaging at six-month follow-up demonstrated a new nodule in the contralateral lung, suggestive of metastasis at that time and the patient later developed ascites at nine months, consistent with further intra-abdominal metastasis. Perhaps early diagnosis and aggressive multimodality therapy may have a place in the treatment of this aggressive disease.

AbstractSynovial sarcoma of the hypopharynx is a rare neoplasm. To date only 23 cases of synovial sarcoma of the hypopharynx have been reported in the literature. An additional case in an 18-year-old male is presented. This is the first case of synovial sarcoma in the hypopharynx to be reported in Singapore. The presentation was that of a mass in the hypopharynx; progressive dysphagia, intermittent hoarseness and gradual airway compromise. A CT scan was valuable in determining the site of origin and extent of the lesion. Histopathology was diagnostic. Treatment comprised of wide surgical excision of the tumour and post-operative radiotherapy.
