Primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney: a case report / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The diagnosis and treatment of a case of primary renal synovial sarcoma was reported. The patient was diagnosed as malignant tumor of left kidney before operation and underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Renal synovial sarcoma was confirmed by pathological examination and gene test. After 6 courses of doxorubicin chemotherapy plus heavy ion radiotherapy for 15 days, no tumor metastasis or recurrence was found during the 14 months of follow-up. The diagnosis of this disease depends on molecular genetics. Surgery and chemotherapy are commonly used at present. Most patients have a poor prognosis.
