Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Synovial cell sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignancy.
  • It commonly affects young males, presenting as a painful periarticular mass, typically in the lower extremity.
  • Calcification is observed in about 50% of cases, and the mass may appear encapsulated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key clinical and pathological features of synovial cell sarcoma.
  • To outline the primary treatment modality and prognostic factors.
  • To highlight survival rates and associated indicators.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations and imaging findings.
  • Surgical resection as the primary therapeutic approach.
  • Histopathological analysis for grading and assessment of recurrence.

Main Results:

  • The maximal five-year survival rate for synovial cell sarcoma is 40%.
  • Factors associated with improved survival include smaller lesion size, absence of metastases, and low-grade histological findings in younger patients.
  • Radical resection is crucial for preventing local recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Synovial cell sarcoma necessitates aggressive surgical management.
  • Prognosis is significantly influenced by tumor characteristics and patient age.
  • Early diagnosis and complete resection are vital for improving patient survival rates.
