Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma with delayed diagnosis in a 69-year-old man: A case report.

This case describes a rare presentation of a primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma with coarse intratumoral calcifications and the MRI features of the lesion. Intratumoral coarse calcifications often suggest benign lesions, such as hamartomas or post-inflammatory granulomas; however, as malignant lesions cannot be completely excluded, other radiologic and clinical features should be considered carefully. Focal areas of enhancement and eccentric calcification distribution might suggest malignant lesions such as primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma. Furthermore, despite not being used routinely, MRI scans might be helpful because advanced MRI techniques, such as diffusion-weighted imaging, can help distinguish malignant lesions from benign lesions. If the clinical course of a patient suggests malignancy, a more aggressive biopsy strategy should be considered.
