摘要：

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft-tissue tumor that most commonly occurs in the extremities of young adults. Synovial sarcoma arising from the chest wall is rare and only some cases had been reported in the literature. We present a 57-year-old woman who presented with chest pain. Radiologic evaluation revealed a right parietal tumor destructing the mid-portion of the 8th rib, with heterogeneous enhancement and invasion of the pectoral muscle and extra pleural fat. A surgical resection consisting in parietectomy was achieved. The histological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with synovial sarcoma. An adjuvant chemotherapy was prescribed but the patient was lost of view. She presented 6 months later with a recurrent huge parietal mass.
