“…Fortunately, there was no serious cause in our series but there are case reports of lymphomas and sarcomas, 26,28,29 where delay in diagnosis can be devastating; however, incidence of such cases is extremely low. In our cohort, 20.7% of the feet had normal scans and only 2 patients had a different diagnosis; hence, we conclude that MRI scan is not uniformly indicated in assessment of plantar heel pain and emphasis must be on careful clinical assessment and patient education.…”

“…Le taux de survie à 5 ans est de 50 à 65 % et de 20 à 50 % à 10 ans. Le grade histologique est le facteur pronostique le plus significatif statistiquement pour le risque métastatique et l'évolution avec une diminution significative du taux de survie à 5 ans, de 80 % à 50 % pour les tumeurs de grade III ou de haut grade [15,16] ; les autres élé-ments de mauvais pronostic sont : l'âge supérieur à 25 ans, la taille supérieure à 5 cm, la localisation proximale, l'invasion de l'os et des éléments vasculonerveux, le caractère peu diffé-rencié à l'examen histologique, la chirurgie incomplète et la récidive locale [11,17]. Par contre, le caractère mono ou biphasique ne semble pas être un facteur pronostique [15].…”

Le synovialosarcome est une tumeur rare et agressive des tissus mous représentant 7 à 8 % des sarcomes malins chez l'homme. Les membres inférieurs et supérieurs sont les plus atteints, en particulier les régions paraarticulaires des grosses articulations. Malgré son nom, le synovialosarcome n'est pas d'origine synoviale mais prend naissance à partir des cellules mésenchymateuses ayant une différenciation synoviale. Nous rapportons un cas de synovialosarcome de la plante du pied survenu chez une fille âgée de 9 ans et nous rappelons les signes radiologiques permettant d'évoquer le diagnostic. Mots clés Tumeur des tissus mous · SynovialosarcomeAbstract The synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of soft tissues representing 7-8% of malignant sarcoma in humans. The upper and lower limbs are most affected, particularly the para-articular regions of the large joints. Despite its name, synovial sarcoma does not arise from the synovial membrane but rather from primitive mesenchymal cells. We report a case of synovial sarcoma of the foot occurred in 9-year-old girl and we recall the radiological signs that suggest the diagnosis.

Synovial sarcoma of the buttocks presenting with a non-healing wound and rapid progression after local resection: a case report

et al. 2012

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that is frequently misdiagnosed as a benign condition because of its small size, slow growth, and well-delineated appearance. Rapid spread and early death occur rarely. Here we report a case of synovial sarcoma of the buttocks presenting with a non-healing wound and rapid progression after local resection in a 23-year-old woman. She initially found a slightly painful subcutaneous mass in the left buttock and underwent local excision. Postoperatively, she developed a non-healing wound that did not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy and local wound care, and pitting edema of the lower extremities. A magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a large heterogeneous, irregular mass in the buttocks with regional lymph node involvement. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses suggested the diagnosis of a poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma. Her condition deteriorated dramatically shortly thereafter; she developed systemic edema and died of respiratory failure. This case suggests that synovial sarcoma may be fatal within months of recognition if improperly managed and stresses the importance of adequate pre-surgical evaluation and postoperative pathological analysis in the management of a subcutaneous mass.
