TI  - Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma: a case report with unique and impressive 
      computed tomography findings.
PG  - e1-3
AB  - Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is a rare malignancy. Its etiology, 
      imaging features and optimal treatment are not well understood. Pulmonary 
      pseudoaneurysms and lymphadenopathy are rare complications of synovial sarcomas. 
      A 40-year-old woman with mild hemoptysis and thoracic back pain underwent a 
      computed tomography scan that revealed multiple pulmonary lesions, paraesophageal 
      lymphadenopathy and incidental bilateral pulmonary emboli. A diagnosis of PPSS 
      was made through the identification of an SS18 translocation by fluorescence in 
      situ hybridization. She was started on adriamycin, ifosfamide and mesna 
      chemotherapy. Over the subsequent two months, she developed three pulmonary 
      artery pseudoaneurysms, ultimately requiring endovascular coiling. Seven months 
      after starting treatment, the patient was asymptomatic. The lesions and 
      lymphadenopathy decreased in size. The present case highlights complications of a 
      rare malignancy and demonstrates positive response to ifosfamide-based 
      chemotherapy in the setting of PPSS.
