The Incidence of synovial sarcoma Is very low but sarcoma Is a well-defined entity, which occurs primarily around large Joints and usually in association with tendon sheaths, bursae or the capsule. Recently we experienced a case of synovial sarcoma which invaded the right femoral vein of 433 5-year-old man. The tumor was widely excised incl ding the invaded femoral vein, and vein reconstruction was done using saphenous vein graft. The postoperative course was uneventful without intractable edema nor disability.

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a highly malignant tumor that accounts for 10% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. Primary SS arising from the lung is extremely rare, and the prognosis is poor. We report a case of pulmonary SS presenting with a mass lesion invading the right upper and middle lobes, extending to the mediastinum and the chest wall. After tru-cut biopsy, surgical resection was performed. The final diagnosis was SS (biphasic type) based on histological and immunohistochemical findings. There are no guidelines for optimal treatment due to the rarity of these tumors. Current treatment includes surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.

Synovial sarcomas of the hand are rare. It should be treated with wide resection. In the cases of soft tissue sarcomas of the hand, functional reconstruction must be considered. We report 46-year-old male patient with synovial sarcoma of the right thenar muscle which was treated with unplanned intralesional resection at outside hospital, that has been treated with wide resection including trapezium and first metacarapl bone then, reconstructed with nonvascularized fibular graft and anterolateral thigh free flap.

Background: This study assessed the efficacy of pulmonary metastasectomy for synovial sarcoma in adult patients. Methods: Fifty patients, diagnosed with pulmonary metastasis from June 1990 to August 2010, were reviewed retrospectively. Twenty-eight patients underwent complete pulmonary metastasectomy, and their survival was evaluated. Age, sex, time to metastatic progression, laterality, number of tumors, size of largest nodule, and number of metastasectomies were analyzed as potential prognostic factors. Results: In all, 29 patients underwent at least one pulmonary metastasectomy, and 51 resections were performed. One intraoperative mortality occurred, and the 5-year survival rate was 58.4%. Bilateral metastases and early metastatic progression were associated with poor survival in multivariate analyses. Conclusion: Surgical resection can be a good option for treating pulmonary metastasis in patients with synovial sarcoma. Repeated resection was feasible with low mortality and morbidity.

A malignant sarcoma of soft tissue that arises near but not in a joint, most often in an adolescent or young adult, is typically slowgrowing, and may escapes notice until it causes pain. The diagnosis of this tumor can be suspected by X-ray or imaging, made by biopsy, and confirmed by chromosome studies. Cytogenic studies reveal a translocation between the X chromosome and chromosome 18 in the tumor cells. The most common treatment for the tumor is surgery to remove the entire tumor, nearby muscle, and lymph nodes. Synovial sarcoma tends to recur locally and to involve regional lymph nodes. Distant metastasis occurs in half cases. The well-documented and adequately followed cases are currently lacking and this report described an instance of Synovial sarcoma good result after treatment and review of literature.

Synovial sarcoma is an uncommon malignant soft tissue tumor which usually occurs in young-aged person, and frequently involves the lower extremities. Many authors recommended wide excision, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The proposed factors that affect the prognosis are age, size of tumor, site of tumor in the body, depth of tumor, histologic grade and method of treatment. The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors that affect the 5-year survival rate. We retrospectively evaluated 19 cases of synovial sarcoma treated in the Kosin University Medical Center from Jan. 1982 to Dec. 1994. The overall 5-year survival rate was 47.6% and the 5-year survival rates were significantly higher(P<0.05) in the group with smaller size of mass. The significantly lower 5-year survival rates were observed in the patient with deeply located lesion and with higher histologic grade. The 5-year survival rates were higher in the patients treated with wide excision than in the patients treated with amputation. But there was no significant difference between these groups. The adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were performed. In conclusion, we suggest that the better prognosis will be observed in the patients with smaller size of tumor mass, superficially located and lower histologic grade.

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant soft tissue tumor comprising 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. This tumor normally occurs in the paraarticular regions of the extremities but is rare in head and neck sites. SS is sometimes difficult to diagnose because it can mimic benign lesions both clinically and radiologically. This paper presents a rare case of a SS of the buccal space of a 25-year old man. The histology examination and immunohistochemistry of the mass led to a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. The patient was treated primarily with a surgical resection, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The follow up examination 17-months after surgery showed no signs of tumor relapse or metastasis.

Most malignant mesenchymal tumors of the lung are metastases of a primary tumor from elsewhere in the body. A primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is a very rare neoplasm that accounts for approximately 10% of soft tissue sarcomas and makes up only 0.5% of all primary lung malignancies. We report a case of a primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma in a 60-year old woman. In this case, a lung metastasis was excluded using 18F-FDG PET /CT imaging.

Ultrasonography is an effective first-line examination for soft-tissue masses. We reported a case who presented with superficial soft-tissue mass on the left distal thigh accompanying by pain. On ultrasonography, the lesion was determined as a benign mass. The patient, however, was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma based on the histopathologic result. Herein, we reported the case and reviewed of relevant literature.

Synovial sarcoma is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor that occurs in the vicinity of the joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Typically the lesions are located in the extremities, especially in the lower extremities. They also occur in the abdominal and thoracic walls, but rarely in the head and neck. We experienced a case of synovial sarcoma of the rib in 17-year -old woman. We performed on bloc chest wall resection including the right second rib tumor, fi st and third ribs. The postoperative course was uneventful. She received chemotherapy because of a relapse of the tumor in sternum and both lung during follow-up.
