'''Synovial sarcoma''', abbreviated '''SS''', is an uncommon malignant soft tissue tumour, typically seen in young adults.
 
==General==
*Does not arise from cartilage.<ref name=Ref_WMSP627>{{Ref WMSP|627}}</ref>
*Young adults or adolescents.
**Classic age: 30s.
*Poor prognosis.

*Present with soft palpable mass - slow growing - often for years.
*May present with pain.
**Uncommon finding in sarcomas.
 
==Gross==
Location:
*Usually close to a joint.
*Usually distal extremity ~65% of cases.<ref name=pmid16973781/>
**Upper extremity ~20% of cases.<ref name=pmid16973781/>
 
Appearance - often non-specific:
*Solid often lobulated +/- cystic component.
*Grey-yellow.
*Pushing border to ill-defined border.

===Microscopic===

#Spindle cell sarcoma with features of hemangiopericytoma, i.e. [[staghorn vessels]].
#Biphasic synovial sarcoma:
##Spindle cells with features of hemangiopericytoma.
##Epitheliod glands or nests.
#Primitive round cell type.
 
Features:
*[[Herring bone]] or [[vesicular pattern]] - '''key feature'''.
*Spindle cells.
*+/-Glandular component - typically more pink.
*+/-Calcification - uncommon.
**Extensive calcification = better prognosis.<ref name=pmid6282441>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Varela-Duran | first1 = J. | last2 = Enzinger | first2 = FM. | title = Calcifying synovial sarcoma. | journal = Cancer | volume = 50 | issue = 2 | pages = 345-52 | month = Jul | year = 1982 | doi =  | PMID = 6282441 }}</ref>
 
DDx:
*[[MPNST]].
**Can be difficult.

*S100 ~30% +ve.
*SMA.
 
Notes:
*Synovial sarcoma & MPNST:
**Both +ve: PGP9.5 (UCHL1<ref>{{OMIM|191342}}</ref>), S100, NGFR, CD56, CD99, vimentin.
**Synovial +ve: EMA, keratin, BCL2, TLE1.
**MPNST +ve: nestin, CD34.
 
Trivia:
*PGP in ''PGP9.5'' = protein gene product.<ref name=pmid6343558>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Doran | first1 = JF. | last2 = Jackson | first2 = P. | last3 = Kynoch | first3 = PA. | last4 = Thompson | first4 = RJ. | title = Isolation of PGP 9.5, a new human neurone-specific protein detected by high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. | journal = J Neurochem | volume = 40 | issue = 6 | pages = 1542-7 | month = Jun | year = 1983 | doi =  | PMID = 6343558 }}</ref>
 
===EM===
Features:<ref name=pmid9930576>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Fisher | first1 = C. | title = Synovial sarcoma. | journal = Ann Diagn Pathol | volume = 2 | issue = 6 | pages = 401-21 | month = Dec | year = 1998 | doi =  | PMID = 9930576 }}</ref>
*Biphasic tumour have biphasic ultrastructural features (unlike spindle cell carcinoma and [[epithelioid sarcoma]]).
*Epithelioid component is adenocarcinoma-like - they have:
**Intermediate filaments.
**[[Tonofilament]]s.
**Microvilli.
*[[Spindle cell]] component - mostly features less.
**Poorly formed desmosomes.
**No intermediate filaments, no myofilaments.
 
===Molecular pathology===
Associated [[translocation]]:
*t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2).<ref>URL: [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/300813 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/300813]. Accessed on: 30 May 2010.</ref>
**SYT/SSX fusion gene.
 
Several SSX genes - cannot be differentiated with standard karyotyping:
*SSX1.
*SSX2 - better survival, rarely seen in biphasic tumours.<ref>{{Ref APBR|625 Q6}}</ref>
*SSX4 - uncommon.
 
Notes:
*At HSC t(X,18) = synovial sarcoma.
