Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features,immunophenotype and molecular genetic changes of retroperitoneal synovial sarcoma.Methods:The retroperitoneal specimens from the department of pathology of Peking University International Hospital from December 2014 to July 2021 were collected,and 6 cases of synovial sarcoma were pathologically diagnosed.Light microscopic observation,immunophenotypic and molecular pathological analysis were performed,and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:There were 2 males and 4 females,aged from 12 to 56 years old(mean age 29 years old,median age 26 years old).The tumor size was 8~20 cm,with an average of 15.2 cm.The boundary was clear.There were 5 cases of spindle cell type and 1 case of biphasic type.The positive rates of Ckpan,EMA,Bcl-2,CD99,TLE1,Vimentin,CD34 and Calponin were 5/6,6/6,6/6,3/6,6/6,5/6,0/6 and 4/6 respectively.INI1 was expressed in a special pattern 6/6.Ki-67 was highly expressed.FISH results showed that 6 cases had SS18-SSX gene fusion;Three cases were SS18-SSX2 gene fusion with concomitant gene mutation.Conclusion:Retroperitoneal synovial sarcoma is a rare site.The definite diagnosis often needs to be combined with histopathological morphology,immunohistochemical expression and molecular genetic characteristics.
