Primary renal synovial sarcoma: a case report / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue malignancy of unknown origin which usually occurs around the joints of the extremities, but rarely detected in the kidneys. A case of primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney was reported, which was preoperatively diagnosed as a malignant tumor of the right kidney for intermittent gross hematuria. After the laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, primary renal synovial sarcoma was confirmed by pathological examination. The patient refused further treatment, and there was no recurrence or metastasis during the 13 months of follow-up.
