Abstract:
Synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor that primarily affects soft tissues, including the mediastinum, and predominantly affects younger adults. A 23-year-old male patient with mediastinal synovial sarcoma underwent debulking surgery and received 3 cycles of doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and mesna chemotherapy. Mediastinal synovial sarcoma presents diagnostic challenges and poor prognosis. Treatment involves surgical resection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Mediastinal synovial sarcoma can be diagnosed through histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. Adjuvant chemotherapy led to a partial response, showing a decrease in tumor size and resolution of pleural effusion, demonstrating a positive interim outcome.
