“…In a previous review of 40 cases of gastric SS, 19 cases were female, the median age was 13-67 years old, the median tumor size was 16-160 mm, the most common histopathological subtype was the monophasic type, more than 50% underwent surgical resection, and less than 25% received adjuvant chemotherapy [ 1 ]. The body of the stomach and fundus are the most common locations, but other locations, such as the gastroesophageal junction, cardia, antrum, and gastroduodenal junction, have also been reported [ 11 ].…”

“…The first case of SS in the stomach was reported in 2000 [ 10 ]. Since then, many cases of SS in the stomach have been reported [ 1 , 2 , 11 - 13 ]. The first reported case of an unusual site of SS in Saudi Arabia was in 2012, arising from the ileum [ 5 ].…”

“…A total of 44 cases of primary gastric synovial sarcoma have been reported thus far, and surgical procedures conducted were as follows: tumorectomy in five cases, wedge resection in nine cases, partial gastrectomy in seven cases, gastrectomy in four cases, distal gastrectomy in two cases, total gastrectomy in three cases, antrectomy in one case, intragastric resection in one case, and surgical resection in two cases. No data were available in ten cases [24,[26][27][28][29][30]. Thus, LECS procedure has not been reported.…”

“…For primary synovial sarcoma of the stomach, Krupinska et al found that patients with tumors larger than 72 mm had a significantly lower probability of survival and that histological subtype could influence the prognosis. In the monophasic subtype group, only one patient died (1/20), whereas in the group with biphasic or poorly differentiated tumors, the percentage of deaths was significantly higher [ 26 ].…”

Primary gastric synovial sarcoma resected by laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery of the stomach: a case report

et al. 2021

Background Primary gastric synovial sarcoma is extremely rare, only 44 cases have been reported so far, and there have been no reports of laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery for this condition. Case presentation A 45-year-old male patient presented with gastric pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed that led to the identification of an 8-mm submucosal tumor in the anterior wall of the antrum, and a kit-negative gastrointestinal stromal tumor was suspected following biopsy. On endoscopic ultrasonography, the boundary of the tumor, mainly composed of the second layer, was depicted as a slightly unclear low-echo region, and a pointless no echo region was scattered inside. A boring biopsy revealed synovial sarcoma. Positron emission tomography did not reveal fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) accumulation in the stomach or other organs. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with a primary gastric synovial sarcoma, and laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery was performed. The tumor of the antrum could not be confirmed laparoscopically from the serosa, and under intraoperative endoscopy, it had delle on the mucosal surface, which was removed by a method that does not involve releasing the gastric wall. Immunohistochemistry showed that the spindle cells were positive for EMA, BCL-2 protein, TLE-1, and SS18-SSX fusion-specific antibodies but negative for KIT and DOG-1. The final pathological diagnosis was synovial sarcoma of the stomach. The postoperative course was good, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 11th postoperative day. Conclusion Resection with laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS), which has not been reported before, was effective for small synovial sarcomas that could not be confirmed laparoscopically. With the combination of laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches to neoplasia with a non-exposure technique (CLEAN-NET) procedure, it was possible to excise the tumor with the minimum excision range of the gastric serosa without opening the stomach.

“…On the other hand, chemotherapy is not recommended for patients with tumors less than 5 cm in diameter and R0 resections [ 30 ]. In the cases of gastric synovial sarcoma, adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in eight patients with tumor diameters of 60 mm or greater [ 5 – 7 , 13 , 20 , 22 , 24 ]. Six of eight patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy had recurrence, and two of these patients died [ 5 , 6 ].…”

A minute primary gastric synovial sarcoma with ulcer: a case report

et al. 2021

Background Synovial sarcomas are a rare type of high-grade sarcomas with unknown cell origin. They arise predominantly in the soft tissues but rarely in the stomach. We recently encountered a rare case of minute gastric synovial sarcoma. Case presentation A 61-year-old Japanese woman was pointed out edematous erosion at the body of the stomach. Biopsy specimen showed dense proliferation of spindle-shaped tumor cells mixed with smooth muscle fibers of the muscularis mucosae. Although the definite histological diagnosis was undetermined, the patient underwent laparoscopic wedge resection of the stomach. Histological examination of the resected sample revealed that the maximum diameter of the tumor was only 6 mm and that dense proliferation of rather uniform spindle tumor cells were observed mainly in the submucosa. Immunohistochemistry showed that they were positive for pan-keratin, CD99 and TLE1. SS18-SSX fusion-specific antibody gave diffuse positive staining to the tumor cells, and analysis using mRNA extracted from paraffin sections revealed that the tumor had SS18-SSX1 fusion gene. Thus, it was diagnosed as gastric synovial sarcoma, monophasic fibrous type. Conclusions Primary synovial sarcoma of the stomach is rare and only 47 cases have been reported in the English literature to date. The maximum diameter of the lesion of our case was 6 mm which is the smallest among them.
