Rare monophasic primary renal synovial sarcoma presents in a 61-year-old woman.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report adds to the limited literature on primary renal synovial sarcomas, specifically the monophasic variant.
Rare renal mass presentation warrants diagnostic awareness but should not change practice; leaves open optimal management for this variant.
Primary renal synovial sarcomas (SS) are rare tumors of the kidney. Faria first described primary renal synovial sarcoma in 1999. Twenty-one cases of primary renal synovial sarcoma have been reported to date. Primary renal synovial sarcomas can exist in either a monophasic or a biphasic pattern. The monophasic variant of primary renal synovial sarcoma is more common and tends to have a better prognosis than the biphasic variant. We present the case of a 61 year-old woman with a monophasic variant of primary renal synovial sarcoma.
