Synovial sarcoma is one of the rare soft tissue sarcomas occurring in the periarticular region originating from synovia. Synovial sarcomas occur less frequently in the neck, tongue, larynx, mediastinum, heart, lung, abdominal wall, small intestine, mesentery, and retroperitoneum. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is a poor pathological condition without extrapulmonary involvement. In these rapidly progressing tumors, making quick decisions is important and performing complete resection is the best treatment that contributes to survival. Herein, we present a case of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma in which we were able to achieve long-term survival with the multimodal approach after complete resection.
