ABSTRACT: Synovial
sarcoma originating from the kidney is extremely rare. A 13-year-old girl presented with a mild left flank pain of one-week duration, with no
associated history of hematuria or any other systemic symptoms. Computed
tomography (CT) demonstrated a 6 × 13 × 9 cm mass in the left kidney. No soft
tissue or extrarenal masses were identified. The patient received a combined of
treatment with doxorubicin and ifosfamide. A radical nephrectomy was performed
in the left kidney with no complications. Postoperative pathology revealed
post-chemotherapy residue of monophasic spindle cell synovialosarcoma of the
left kidney. She received a combined treatment with doxorubicin and ifosfamide
in concomittance with external radiation therapy. The patient was re-examined 4
months after surgery. An abdominal and pulmonary CT found no recurrence or
metastasis.
