Ozeki et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Primary biphasic synovial sarcoma of the lung (n=1). Right lower lobectomy with combined resection of the pericardium and radical lymph node dissection was evaluated on Survival and recurrence. A 70-year-old female with primary pulmonary biphasic synovial sarcoma underwent complete surgical resection but died due to local recurrence within one year.
