Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor originated from primitive mesenchymal cell. It occurs primarily in the paraarticular regions, such as knee joint, ankle joint. We experienced a case of intrapulmonary synovial sarcoma which was originated from the lung.

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.

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.

A 34-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of chest pain. Chest computerized tomography showed pleural effusion and mass in left lower area. After open thoracotomy and mass removal originating from the parietal pleura were done. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma. Synovial sarcoma of the pleura is rare. Herein we report a case of synovial sarcoma of the parietal pleura.

An 11-year-old castrated male, Shih-tzu dog was admitted for progressive weight-bearing lameness and mass on the right hindlimb. Radiography and ultrasonography revealed a large well-marginated multinodular mass with mixed echogenicity. On T1 and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the mass has a heterogenous signal intensity similar to or higher than muscle. The masses were extended to the pelvic cavi쇼 through obturator foramen and displaced the rectum dorsally. It was diagnosed as synovial sarcoma which was composed with mesenchymal and epithelial elements on histopathological findings of the multifocal biopsied specimen. MRI was helpful to determine the definitive margin for surgical resection of the mass. The mass was recurred at the 6th month after surgery. On the 10th month, the patient was euthanasiuzed by owner's request.

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.

It is a well-accepted tenet that wide surgical margins are necessary for the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas, and it is still true that the rate of recurrence depends on the adequacy of the surgical margins. Sarcomas that rest directly against bone pose a dilemma for the surgeon. A wide margin is not possible in the literal sense without excision of the bone. Whereas reconstruction of skeletal defects is possible, it adds to the complexity of the surgery and increases potential complications. We report the experience of treatment in a case of synovial sarcoma which located at popliteal fossa adjacent to proximal tibia.

Synovial sarcoma is commonly found in the extremities of mesenchymal origin, but rare in the head and neck area. Histopathology is diagnostic and it shows a biphasic pattern with two neoplastic elements; spindle cell, sarcoma like stroma and gland like clefts lined by epitheloid cells. Synovial sarcoma is high-grade neoplasm that expresses epithelial as well as supporting features. This paper presents a case of synovial sarcoma of hypopharynx on 25 years old male. He was treated by surgical excision and postoperative chemoradiotherapy. There were no evidences of local recurrence & distant metastasis for 19 months postoperatively.

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor which is the most prevalent in adolescents and young adults between 10 and 40 years of age. It occurs primarily in the para-articular regions, usually in close association with tendon sheath, bursae and joint capsules. Favorable clinical factors are young age of the patients, tumor size smaller than 5cm, and distal rather than proximal location in the extremities. We analysed clinical findings of 13 cases of synovial sarcoma that had been experienced from January 1983 to December 1992. There were 8 females and 5 males, whose age was averaged as 28 years and 10 months ranging from 6 years to 54 years. The mean follow-up was 3 years(range : 9 months- 9 years 1 month). Palpable mass was frequent clinical symptom and lower extremity especially around the knee was the most prevalent site. Treatment modalities were the combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Distant metastasis occured in 5(38%) cases : 4 cases to lung and 1 case to neck, and 2 cases had local recurrences. At final follow-up 6 cases were continous disease free, 2 alive with disease and 5 died of disease. The Kaplan-Meier's estimated 5 year survival rate of total 13 cases was 66% and satisfactory results were obtained with mass size smaller than 5cm.
