SYNOVIAL SARCOMA OF THE COLON WITH INTRACYTOPLASMIC MUCIN– A CASE REPORT

Anuja A. Yadav, Meenakshi Swain, Kishore A

Abstract :

Synovial sarcomas are rare tumors, accounting for 5–10% of adult soft tissue sarcomas affecting young adults in para–articular regions. Primary intra–abdominal synovial sarcoma is rare, with about 47 cases reported in the literature. Only few cases of synovial sarcomas with cystic and myxoid change have been described. Intracytoplasmic mucin in synovial sarcomas with presence of glandular component is extremely rare. Lung is the most common site for metastasis and only few cases are reported with liver and omental metastasis. Intra–abdominal synovial sarcomas seem to have a better prognosis compared to the synovial sarcomas in para–articular regions. We present an unusual case of a 35 year old female who presented with right lumbar pain. CT scan showed an exophytic growth on the serosal surface of colon. Histology showed predominantly spindle cells with occasional small glands having focal intracytoplasmic mucin which was diagnosed as synovial sarcoma with the aid of immunohistochemistry and molecular studies.
