Diagnosis: synovial sarcoma. Technique: contrast-enhanced chest CT and 18FDG-PET CT. Description: A 43-year old woman with a history of a synovial sarcoma in the sartorius muscle was referred for a chest CT to rule out metastatic disease. Axial contrast-enhanced CT (a) shows a lobulated, well-defined pleural lesion (arrow) in the base of the right lung, which is slightly heterogeneous (see detail image b). There is no increased FDG uptake on the 18-F-FDG PET examination (c). Histopathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma
