Complete surgical resection is crucial for treating synovial sarcoma. Achieving adequate tumor-free margins prevents local recurrence, significantly improving patient outcomes and long-term disease control.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Understanding its clinical, radiographic, and pathological features is essential for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings in synovial sarcoma cases.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes and identify prognostic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 25 synovial sarcoma cases.
  • Clinical, radiographic (including imaging for soft-tissue mass and calcification), and pathological (monophasic vs. biphasic) analysis.
  • Assessment of treatment modalities (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Histopathology revealed 19 monophasic and 6 biphasic synovial sarcomas.
  • Radiography showed soft-tissue masses in 70% and calcification in 15% of patients.
  • Adequate surgical margins correlated with no local recurrences, while inadequate treatment led to an 83% recurrence rate.

Conclusions:

  • Adequate surgical margins are the most critical prognostic factor in synovial sarcoma.
  • Complete tumor resection with tumor-free margins is vital for preventing local recurrence.
  • Treatment strategies should prioritize achieving clear surgical margins for improved patient survival.
