Where this comes from

Abstract

Primary synovial sarcoma of the pleura is an uncommon entity in the present medical literature. However, the paucity of documented cases may be due to misdiagnoses as a malignant mesothelioma in the past. Early diagnosis with new molecular techniques may improve the outcome of this tumour, which is believed to have a grave prognosis at present.
