ABSTRACT
Synovial sarcomas are uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumors occurring mainly near the joints of the extremities of young adults. Synovial sarcomas are exceedingly rare neoplasms of the digestive tract. We report the first diagnosed case of esophageal synovial sarcoma, highlighting its diagnostic features surgical management and follow-up.

Divertículo solitário do intestino grosso é uma entidade relativamente rara, sendo mais frequentemente encontrado sob a forma de múltiplos divertículos. Tais divertículos são mais comuns no ceco e cólon ascendente, e geralmente são divertículos verdadeiros, ou seja, possuem todas as paredes do intestino. Quando o divertículo de ceco evolui para inflamação os pacientes geralmente se apresentam com sintomas sugestivos de apendicite aguda. Um caso de divertículo de ceco perfurado é relatado em uma mulher de 49 anos, cujo diagnóstico foi realizado somente após a cirurgia. Aspectos clínicos, propedêutica e terapia cirúrgica são discutidos.
Solitary diverticulum of the large intestine is an entity relatively rare, being more frequently found under the form of multiple diverticulum. Such diverticulum's are more common in the cecum and ascending colon and they are usually true diverticulum, in other words, they possess all of the walls of the intestine. When the cecum diverticulum develops for inflammation the patients come usually with suggestive symptoms of acute appendicitis. A case of diverticulum perforated of the cecum is related in a 49 year-old woman, whose diagnosis was only accomplished after the surgery. Clinical aspects, propedeutic and surgical therapy are discussed.
