Primary pleural synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is a rare malignant pleural tumor comprising < 1% of all primary lung malignancies. Primary pleural mesothelioma (PPM) has many similar features that may cause a diagnostic dilemma due to overlapping clinical and histopathological features.

This rare entity must be considered with a high index of suspicion while evaluating pleural tumors.
