Bilateral metastatic renal synovial sarcoma

Urology. 2005 Feb;65(2):389. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2004.09.004.

Abstract

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft-tissue neoplasm, usually arising in close association with the joints and generally carrying a poor prognosis. We describe the first report of bilateral renal metastases from synovial sarcoma in a long-term survivor. Treatment consisted of systemic therapy with bilateral partial nephrectomies. The patient was disease free at 1 year of follow-up.
