Abstract
Synovial sarcoma most commonly occurs in the peri-articular regions of the extremities. We report a case of primary pulmonary monophasic synovial sarc oma. This tumor is extremely rare ann shows a particular immunohistochemica l pattern of great help for the diagnosis. Cytogenetic study confirm the di agnosis by showing the specific t (X; 18) chromosomal translocation, charac teristic of synovial sarcoma in all anatomic locations.
