摘要
In a 34-year-old woman extensive intrapleural disease developed within 1 year of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) removal of two pulmonary metastases from a previously treated synovial sarcoma. She under-went a successful complete pleurectomy through a left thoracotomy to excise the pleural tumor and remains well 6 months later. This case highlights tumor dissemination as one of the pitfalls of VATS metastasectomy and raises concerns about using VATS in this situation. (C) 2003 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
