Email this article Synovial Sarcoma of the Esophagus: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Abstract
Synovial sarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor occurring mainly in the periarticular region
of the extremities in young adults. It happens less frequently in the head and neck, mediastinum,
lungs, heart, and digestive tract.
A 28-year-old man two months after total esophagectomy with final diagnosis of esophageal
synovial sarcoma was referred to our Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) department for
the evaluation of treatment response and further treatment planning. To our knowledge this case
is the 11th case of esophageal synovial sarcoma, being reported in the literature.
We presented the 11th case of esophageal synovial sarcoma. Synovial sarcomas are very rare tumor entities, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and are likely to be mistaken with other more common tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
