Abstract
Primary pulmonary sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor, accounting for less than 0.5% of all lung tumours. Here we describe two cases, a 72 year old gentleman who presented with a lung mass and a 66 year old man who presented with paraparesis and lung mass. Chest X-ray and Thoracic computed tomography showed a 4.5 x 4 cm mass in the lower lobe of right lung in our first patient and a 10 x 8 cm pleural based mass in right lower lung in our second patient. Histopathology was suggestive of synovial sarcoma in the first patient and sclerosing spindle cell sarcoma in the second. First patient underwent resection of the tumor and adjuvant radiation and had progression after 10 months. Second one received palliative radiation to bone metastasis and is on chemotherapy.
