Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is an extremely rare and aggressive neoplasm that primarily affects young people and has a poor prognosis. Establishing this diagnosis requires the exclusion of a wide number of other neoplasms with multimodal clinical, imaging, histological, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic assessment. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the left lung in a 44-year-old man, diagnosed immunohistochemically after left lower lobectomy with atypical resection of the 5th segment. Imaging, diagnostic workup, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics, surgical treatment, and prognosis are discussed.
