We report a case of primary intra-abdominal synovial sarcoma of the omentum in a 66-year-old man hospitalized for intermittent abdominal fullness for 1-2 months and tenesmus for 2 weeks. The patient had a palpable mass that was solid, hard and with well-defined thickness within his abdomen. A huge heterogeneous mass lesion over the middle abdomen that started from S2, S3 of the liver to the transverse colon was shown on abdominal computed tomography. The major cell types of the tissue mass were confirmed to be spindle and epithelial cells, which was consistent with biphasic synovial sarcoma according to pathologic and immunohistochemical findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
