Abstract EN
Synovial sarcomas commonly occur in the extremities of young adults.
A primary occurrence in the mediastinum is very rare with only a few reported cases in the world literature.
This paper is about a 42-year-old male who presented with chest pain and dyspnoea on exertion.
Imaging showed an anterior mediastinal mass with adhesions to the lung.
Pathological examination of the resected mass showed a biphasic neoplasm with a spindle cell component admixed with gland-like elements.
The tumour showed positive staining with cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, and Bcl-2 confirming the diagnosis of a biphasic synovial sarcoma.
A wide range of neoplasms, both primary and metastatic, occur in the mediastinum, which pose considerable diagnostic difficulties.
A synovial sarcoma should always be considered in the differential diagnosis, and immunohistochemistry is an important adjuvant tool in this situation.
This paper highlights the importance of recognizing an unusual presentation of this aggressive neoplasm to aid appropriate clinical management.
