Primary synovial sarcoma of the prostate metastatic to the liver and lung: a case report

Abstract

Primary synovial sarcoma of the prostate is an uncommon malignant tumor. There are few cases reported in the English medical literature to date. Here, we present a case of 22-year-old man with primary synovial sarcoma of the prostate metastatic to the liver and lung. To our knowledge, only six reports of synovial sarcoma involving the prostate have been previously published. We also reviewed the previous treatments and prognoses in previous case reports and evaluate the proper treatment for this disease.

Fine‐needle aspiration biopsy of prostate synovial sarcoma: A case report and review of the literature

“…20 Review of reported cases of prostatic synovial sarcoma demonstrates variable prognosis. 3,4,7 Interestingly, the mean age of the patients who died of disease was slightly lower (35 versus 51) and their mean tumor size was larger (11.4 cm versus 6.7 cm). 3,4,7 Interestingly, the mean age of the patients who died of disease was slightly lower (35 versus 51) and their mean tumor size was larger (11.4 cm versus 6.7 cm).…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] The age range is 22-63 with a mean of 43 years. Apart from our case there have been only seven reported cases of prostatic synovial sarcoma.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] Herein, we describe a case of synovial sarcoma involving prostate initially diagnosed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy material. Although seen mainly in the extremities of young adults, synovial sarcoma can be found at any age and anatomic location.…”

Primary Intraprostatic Synovial Sarcoma

“…Tumors ranged in size from 4 to 15 cm, with a mean size of 9.9 cm in greatest dimension. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] HISTOPATHOLOGY Not surprisingly, intraprostatic synovial sarcoma histologically mirrors those found elsewhere in the body. However, to the best of our knowledge only the biphasic and monophasic fibrous types have been described in the English literature to date.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Of these, the mean age at time of diagnosis is 42 years old, with an overall age range of 28 to 63 years. It typically presents with nonspecific lower urinary tract symptoms, including dysuria, increased urinary frequency, and nocturia.…”
