Abstract
We report a rare case of a primary synovial sarcoma of the pericardium. Surgical resection was incomplete and chemotherapy and radiotherapy (tomotherapy) were therefore administered. Regular cardiac magnetic resonance imaging scans were used throughout the follow-up, allowing effective planning and application of adjuvant therapies. The survival of our patient was 26 months, substantially longer than most previously reported cases. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.Entities:
