Ashutosh Tiwari* and Gayatri Kumari

ABSTRACT

Pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is an extremely rare malignant tumour, which is increasingly recognized as a subtype of sarcoma with a distinctive chromosomal translocation specific to synovial sarcoma. It is often presented like any thoracic tumour with symptoms such as chest pain or cough, breathlessness. Here we report a case of PPSS in a 19-year-old boy presenting with cough, shortness of breath and chest pain. And who were found upon histologic examination of the resection specimen to have cystic primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma.
