Intestinal Intussusception by Monophasic Synovial Sarcoma: Case Report and Literature Review
Introduction:
Synovial sarcomas are rare malignant tumors of soft tissues, arising mainly from periarticular structures. Gastrointestinal localizations are unusual presentation of these rare sarcomas.
Methods:
We present the case of a 56- years old man with monophasic synovial sarcoma, arising primarily from the ileum, and causing intussusception. A review of the literature was conducted to gather information about this rare sarcoma.
Results:
We found that the criteria normally used to determine the prognosis in patients with monophasic synovial sarcoma of soft tissue are poorly applicable for gastrointestinal localizations.
Conclusions:
A better characterization of these tumors could identify them as a distinct entity, compared with monophasic synovial sarcomas of soft tissues.
