Synovial cell sarcoma (SCS) of the kidney is a rare tumor entity with a poor prognosis. Morphologic and immunohistochemical characteristics may overlap with other more common neoplasms of the kidney. Therefore, the diagnosis of primary renal SCS not only requires the exclusion of similar tumor types, but also a confirmation of SYT-SSX gene fusion using molecular techniques. The treatment comprises radical surgery, and, depending on age and health status, adjuvant chemotherapy in selected patients. Here, we present an elderly SCS patient in whom straightforward radical surgical treatment resulted in a sustained complete remission; it allowed us to perform a literature survey focusing on current diagnostic tools for SCS.

Our experience with 14 patients treated for synovial cell sarcoma during the past 30 years is described. These tumors were manifested in young people whose ages ranged from 12 to 43 years. The diagnosis of synovial cell sarcoma proved difficult because approximately one third of the patients initially received incorrect pathologic diagnoses. A painless neck mass was the most common presenting symptom. Initial treatment included surgical excision in five patients and surgical excision and radiation therapy in nine. Recurrent or metastatic tumor occurred from 4 months to 62 months later; thus, long-term followup is important. Four of the nine patients who were followed more than 5 years died of their disease. Favorable prognostic findings included early diagnosis and the performance of wide surgical removal. (Otolaryngol head neck surg 1992;107:631.)
