Abstract

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft-tissue tumor that most commonly occurs in the extremities of young adults. There have been several cases of synovial sarcomas of the pleural and lung reported, but synovial sarcoma arising from the chest wall in childhood is very rare. Here we report a case of synovial sarcoma arising from the chest wall in a 3 year-old female patient. The tumor was completely resected. No adjuvant therapy was given. The patient is well 3 years after the operation.

윤활막육종은 젊은 성인의 팔, 다리에 호발하는 악성종양이다. 흉막, 폐에 발생하는 윤활막육종은 드물게 보고되고 있으나, 본 증례처럼 흉벽에 생기면서 소아에 발생한 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 소아의 흉벽에 발생한 윤활막종을 수술 치료한 경험을 보고하는 바이다. 현재 환아는 술 후 3년 동안 재발없이 잘 지내고 있는 중이다.
