Aggressive pulmonary metastasectomies for synovial sarcoma.

摘要

A 51-year-old woman underwent a bilateral wedge resection of lung metastases through a median sternotomy 10 months after an initial operation for synovial sarcoma of the left lower extremity. Since then, five right and two left posterolateral thoracotomies have been performed over a 6-year period. The patient is presently doing well 7 years after the initial operation of the left lower extremity without any evidence of recurrence.
