This case report details a synovial sarcoma in the left axilla. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy revealed specific cellular characteristics, aiding in diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Pathology
Surgical Oncology

Background:

Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
Axillary location is an uncommon site for this tumor.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Observation:

A case of synovial sarcoma in the left axilla is presented.
Tumor structure was predominantly monophasic.
Immunohistochemical staining showed positive epithelial membrane antigen, keratin, and vimentin.

Findings:

Tumor cells exhibited positive staining for epithelial membrane antigen, keratin, and vimentin.
Electron microscopy revealed gland-like arrangements of tumor cells.
Desmosome-like attachments and microvilli were observed in luminal areas.

Related Experiment Videos

Implications:

These findings contribute to understanding synovial sarcoma morphology.
Detailed characterization aids in differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors.
Case reports are vital for documenting rare presentations and informing clinical practice.
