Abstract
A 29-year-old young man presented with acute breathlessness. After investigative work-up he was found to have a massive pericardial tumour. Thoracotomy and near total surgical excision of the pericardial tumour was carried out. Histopathology and immunohistochemical markers study revealed it to be a synovial sarcoma arising from the left lateral pericardial surface. Postoperatively, he received external radiation and chemotherapy. Thirteen months after surgery he developed local recurrence which was unresectable.Entities:
