Synovial sarcomas are a rare and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcomas that typically affects young adults and involves the extremities. Synovial sarcoma of the kidney is a rare and aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis, accounting for only 1% of all renal tumors. The imaging features of this tumor often overlap with those of other renal tumors, and a definitive diagnosis can only be made through immunohistochemical analysis. In this case report, we present the case of a 55-year-old female with left flank pain, who was diagnosed with primary renal synovial sarcoma following a left-sided radical nephrectomy. Despite initial successful surgical intervention, restaging scans showed local recurrence and metastatic disease, which was subsequently managed with 6 cycles of chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy with palliative intent. This case underscores the importance of early detection and aggressive management of rare renal tumors to improve patient outcomes.

Introduction: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is one of the most prevalent malignant soft tissue sarcomas in children and adolescents. Pediatric populations often present with atypical features, complicating the differentiation from benign intramuscular venous malformations (VMs).
case Presentation: An 11-year-old male with a four-year history of progressive right plantar pain and a compressible intramuscular mass.

Synovial sarcomas are rare malignant soft tissue tumors with significant metastatic potential. Although they can occur in various parts of the body, they are most commonly found on the extremities. These tumors typically develop in children and young adults, making occurrences in individuals over 50 years of age unusual.

These tumors predominantly affect young, active individuals, posing a significant challenge for oncologists and plastic surgeons in preserving the patients' quality of life.
Case Presentation: We present the case of 23-year-old woman with no significant medical history.

The SS18::SSX oncogene is the driver of synovial sarcoma, an aggressive cancer presenting in young adults that has poor long-term outcomes. Over the past five years, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular, genomic, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying synovial sarcoma. This review synthesizes recent advancements in synovial sarcoma, including diagnostic pathology, genomic profiling, SS18::SSX biology, epigenetic dysregulation, proteomics, targetable pathways and immunotherapy.

Aims: To investigate immunohistochemical expression of the E26 transformation-specific factors (ETS)-related gene () in a large number of soft tissue neoplasms using a tissue microarray technique.
Methods: 489 cases of soft tissue neoplasms, including benign and malignant entities, were collected from the files of the respective institutions and constructed into tissue microarrays. Tissue microarrays were stained for ERG immunohistochemistry using two antibodies, EP111 and EPR3864.
