| Abstrakt: |
Primary mediastinal synovial sarcomas are very rare occurrences with only a few cases reported in literature to date. We present a similar case in an 18-year old male which proved challenging to diagnose and treat. Radiological imaging and tru-cut biopsy results gave rise to suspicion of an unusual malignancy. The sarcoma under went en bloc resection and subsequent immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. The patient was put on adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery to prevent recurrence. The purpose of this case report is to assist oncologists in the diagnosis and clinical management of this rare tumour. |
