Key result
Left-sided radical nephrectomy followed by radiation therapy resulted in an uneventful 2-year follow-up in a 33-year-old female with primary renal synovial sarcoma.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary renal synovial sarcoma is a rare tumor that can be successfully managed with radical nephrectomy and radiation therapy.
Adds to sparse case reports on primary renal synovial sarcoma; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Primary Renal Sarcoma is rare tumor comprising only 1% of all renal tumours. Synovial sarcomas are generally deep-seated tumors arising in the proximity of large joints of adolescents and young adults and account for 5-10% of all soft tissue tumours. Primary synovial sarcoma of kidney is rare and has poor prognosis. It can only be diagnosed by immunohistochemistry. It should be considered as a differential in sarcomatoid and spindle cell tumours. We present a case of 33-year-old female, who underwent left sided radical nephrectomy for renal tumour. Histopathology and genetic analysis diagnosed it to be primary renal synovial sarcoma. Patient underwent radiation therapy and 2 years follow up is uneventful. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.

Bakhshi et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Primary renal synovial sarcoma (n=1). Radical nephrectomy and radiation therapy was evaluated. Left-sided radical nephrectomy followed by radiation therapy resulted in an uneventful 2-year follow-up in a 33-year-old female with primary renal synovial sarcoma.
