Abstract
Synovial sarcomas (SS) are rare soft tissue sarcomas that usually arise near large extremity joints. SS may pose difficult diagnostic challenges on cytology when encountered as a monophasic variant. We report a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic monophasic synovial sarcoma by a CT-scan guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of a left lower lung lobe nodule. We reviewed the literature on the epidemiologic, cytohistological spectrum, immunophenotypic, and the molecular findings and discussed the differential diagnosis for this rare entity.
