Abstract
A 51-year-old woman underwent a bilateral wedge resection of lung meta stases through a median sternotomy 10 months after an initial operatio n for synovial sarcoma of the left lower extremity. Since then, five r ight and two left posterolateral thoracotomies have been performed ove r a 6-year period. The patient is presently doing well 7 years after t he initial operation of the left lower extremity without any evidence of recurrence.
