Area of Science:

Veterinary Oncology
Comparative Pathology

Background:

Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
Tibiotarsal joint tumors in large breed dogs present diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

A 6.5-year-old Saint Bernard presented with a slowly growing mass at the tibiotarsal joint.
Initial radiography showed no bone involvement, and subtotal resection was performed.

Findings:

Histological classification revealed a synovioma, later diagnosed as synovial sarcoma.
Local recurrence occurred within 6 months, with proximal soft tissue invasion.
Widespread tibial invasion and pulmonary metastasis were evident 18 months post-initial examination.

Implications:

Synovial sarcoma can be locally aggressive and prone to metastasis in dogs.

Early and complete surgical resection is crucial for managing canine synovial sarcoma.

This case highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring for recurrence and metastasis in canine appendicular tumors.
