Abstract
-
Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor originated from the primitive mesencymal
cell. It occurs primarily in the extremities, especially in the lower extremities. Primary
pulmonary synovial sarcoma has been rarely reported in literatures. We experienced a case of
intrapulmonary synovial sarcoma with brain metastasis which originated from the lung.
