CIANCIULLI, Tomás F. et al. Primary pericardial synovial sarcoma. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2023, vol.83, n.5, pp.825-827. ISSN 0025-7680.

Primary pericardial synovial sarcoma is an extraor dinarily very rare tumor with a poor prognosis, and little is known about its therapeutic management. We describe the case of a 51-year-old woman patient who underwent incomplete surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, no pri mary pericardial synovial sarcoma has been described which, after surgery, remains asymptomatic for 5 years, and until a control CT scan detects cardiac metastases that compromised the lumen of the right cavities and with chemotherapy, echocardiography demonstrated complete resolution of cardiac metastases.
