Synovial sarcoma.An Analysis of 134 Tumors

Extraskeletal Osteochondroma in the Nape of the Neck: A Case Report

“…1 Although mature ossification is generally associated with a benign aetiology, sarcomas such as synovial sarcomas and primary soft-tissue chondrosarcomas, and osteosarcomas may also contain dense calcification or ossification. 6,10,[17][18][19] Internal calcification (less common than ossification) in synovial sarcomas is usually seen in the periphery. 6,10,17 These may have coexistent bone involvement and are cytologically active, and are thus readily regarded as being sarcomatous.…”

Osteosarcomas exhibit scattered amorphous calcification and ossification within a soft-tissue mass on radiography.…”

Primary Synovial Sarcoma of the Lung

“…Synovial sarcoma appears in one of two major forms, monophasic or biphasic. The first is the most common pulmonary subtype (2) and is comprised solely of spindle cells, while the latter contains both spindle cells and epithelial cells arranged in glandular structures (6). The present case showed a predominantly fusocellular monophasic pattern of densely packed spindled cells with increased nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio.…”

Synovial Sarcoma of the Abdominal Wall

“…Although the tumour is not very radio-sensitive, Pack and Ariel (1950) noted that the best result in their patients was obtained where post-operative radiotherapy had been given. Cadman et al (1965), however, was not convinced of the value of radiotherapy and concluded that the outcome in any given case was governed by the biological nature of the individual lesion. …”
