The results of an analysis of 13 cases showed that isolated intrathoracic metastases of synovial sarcoma may be treated surgically if there are no recurrences. Since response of metastases to preoperative chemotherapy was registered in 3 out 6 patients, it is suggested that research in this problem should be recommended. A similar approach should be used in postoperative antitumor medication of cases of newly-detected lung metastases.
