Synovialosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor with soft tissue predilection, metastasizing to various organs, including the lung. Primary pulmonary involvement is rare and requires histological examination for confirmation. In early stages, the treatment is surgical followed by radiotherapy to avoid recurrence, while there's no consensus in chemotherapy. We present a case of a 54-year-old patient with primary pulmonary synovialosarcoma. The patient underwent successful treatment, achieving tumor control and complete excision. This case discusses diagnostic approaches, prognosis, treatment modalities for primary pulmonary synovialosarcoma, emphasizing the significance of early intervention for favourable outcomes.
