AB  - We describe a rare case of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) that 
      occurred in a pediatric patient and evaluated by 18F-FDG PET/CT. A 14-year-old 
      male patient underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for metabolic characterization of a left 
      pulmonary mass which showed increased 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax = 4.5). Based on 
      this PET/CT finding, the patient underwent a CTguided biopsy which demonstrated 
      the presence of a PPSS. Other sites of disease were excluded. 18F-FDG PET/CT may 
      be useful for staging pediatric patients with PPSS.
