Abstract
Synovial sarcoma, a rare soft tissue malignancy typically arising from synovial tissue, primarily manifests in the extremities but it may uncommonly present in other locations such as kidneys. Primary renal synovial sarcoma is an uncommon sarcoma with high mortality and recurrence rates. Here, we present a teenage boy with primary renal synovial sarcoma who was referred to our institution.

Abstract
Synovialosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of young adults that occurs in the deep soft tissues, particularly around large joints. When it occurs in more unusual sites, it could present a significant diagnostic challenge. In this case, a 19-year-old girl was treated for a pyloric mass. A pyelic urine cytology performed simultaneously with a pyloric biopsy proved to be a significant element of orientation and perfectly concordant with the histopathological aspect of the pyelic mass after nephrectomy. We report here the first case of renal synovialosarcoma documented in pyelic urine.

Abstract
Synovial sarcomas (SSs) are a rare group of malignant tumors originating from pluripotential mesenchymal cells, which commonly occur as the primary tumor in the soft tissues near the articular surface, tendons, and articular synovium. Herein, we report a rare case of mediastinal SS in an 18-year-old teenager who initially presented with cough as the primary symptom. In this case, plain chest CT and contrast-enhanced CT clearly revealed the lesion presenting as a round-like and uneven density mass in the mediastinum with heterogeneous enhancement, which compressed the trachea and invaded the adjacent vessels. Based on the results of immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), combined with the differential diagnosis with other types of tumors in the mediastinum on imaging, we were able to diagnose the tumor as an SS located in the mediastinum. Subsequent resection of the lesion coupled with chemotherapy and immunotherapy led to an improvement in the patient's symptoms.

Abstract
Primary renal synovial sarcoma (PRSS) is an extremely rare malignancy. The diagnosis of PRSS is unforeseen due to the absence of clinical and radiological typical aspects. Here, we present a case of a 69-year-old male with complaints of hematuria and left lumbar pain. Abdominal-pelvic computed tomography scan with contrast injection showed a solid mass of 8cm diameter in the left kidney and renal vein tumor thrombus. The patient was further subjected to robotic-assisted left radical nephrectomy and renal vein thrombectomy. We concomitantly performed left adrenalectomy and paraaortic lymphadenectomy. Immunohistochemical and genetic analysis revealed PRSS. This entity is characterized by abnormal chromosomal translocation t(X;18)(p11.2; q11.2) and consequently the characteristic SYT-SSX fusion gene. Due to the disease's rarity and severity, diagnosis and management of PRSS rely upon a demanding and multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
Background
Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma with a predilection for extremities in young adults. Very rarely this tumor can originate from kidney.
Case presentation
A 22-year-old female presented to us with complaints of right flank pain and a large mass in the right side of abdomen for the last 6 months. A provisional diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made and right radical nephrectomy was done. However on histopathological examination the tumor was composed of spindle cells arranged in hemangiopericytoma-like vascular pattern. Immunohistochemistry and FISH confirmed the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma of kidney. The patient had no signs of recurrence or metastasis at six months of follow-up.
Conclusion
Renal synovial sarcomas, though rare, should be considered as a differential in young adults who present with extremely large renal mass. Surgical extirpation is the treatment of choice. Ifosfamide- and doxorubicin-based chemotherapy can be given in non resectable and metastatic cases.

Abstract
Background Renal sarcoma (RS) is rarely seen in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to develop a prognostic nomogram model, which could predict the probability of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in adult patients with RS. Methods Patients diagnosed with RS were recruited from the SEER database between 2004 and 2015, and randomized to two cohorts: the training cohort and the validation cohort. Uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses in the training cohort were used to screen independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS. Prognostic nomograms for OS and CSS were created separately for adult RS patients based on independent risk factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to validate the nomograms. Results A total of 232 eligible patients were recruited, including 162 in the training cohort and 70 in the validation cohort. Sex, histological type, SEER stage, and surgery were independent prognostic factors for OS, while histological type, SEER stage, surgery, chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for CSS. Based on the above independent prognostic factors, prognostic nomograms for OS and CSS were created respectively. In the training cohort, the AUCs of the nomograms for OS and CSS were 0.742 and 0.733, respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUCs of the nomograms for OS and CSS were 0.837 and 0.758, respectively. The calibration curves of the nomograms showed high consistencies between the predicted and actual survival rates. Finally, the DCA demonstrated that the nomograms in the wide high-risk threshold had a higher net benefit than the SEER stage. Conclusion A prognostic nomogram for renal sarcoma was created and validated for reliability and usefulness in our study, which assisted urologists in accurately assessing the prognosis of adult RS patients.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare mesenchymal entity that represents 5–10% among soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Primary renal synovial sarcoma (PRSS) is an uncommon, rapidly growing tumor, with potential metastatic dissemination. The main prognostic factors of PRSS include tumor size and histologic grade, while translocation t (X; 18) (p11.2; q11.2) (fusion of SYT gene -chromosome 18- with SSX genes (1, 2 or 4)-chromosome X) is the most common pathognomonic sign. Aggressive surgical resection of the tumor along with concomitant regional lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice for PRSS, while additional en bloc resection of the adjacent affected organs is often performed. To date, the role of preoperative or postoperative chemotherapy remains equivocal. The prognosis of patients with PRSS is poor, as the 5-year survival rate is only 20–30% and further deteriorates when a high mitotic activity is detected. Local recurrence even after complete R0 surgical excision remains the most frequent cause of death. The aim of this review was to meticulously discuss clinical features, histogenesis, and morphological and immunochemical findings of PRSS, while the role of current diagnostic and therapeutic management of this aggressive neoplasm was emphasized.

Abstract
Renal tumours of childhood are rare, although they are one of the most common solid tumours in children. They include numerous entities, which have different clinical, histological, molecular biological and prognostic features, so their precise diagnosis and staging are critical for appropriate treatment. The most common is Wilms' tumour (WT) with ~80-85 % of all cases, whereas other entities including mesoblastic nephroma, clear cell sarcoma, rhabdoid tumour, renal cell carcinoma, metanephric tumours and others are very rare (2-4 % each) which explains why they represent a big diagnostic challenge for diagnostic pathologists. They are subclassified into three risk groups - low, intermediate and high - which have different treatments and prognosis. There are two big study groups which have different approaches but remarkable similar outcomes. The International Society of Paediatric Oncology approach (followed in most of the world) is based on preoperative chemotherapy, followed by surgery and further therapy, whereas the Children's Oncology Group approach (followed mainly in the United States and Canada) is based on primary surgery, followed by postoperative treatment.

Abstract
Primary synovial sarcoma (PSS) of the kidney is considered the rarest type of all renal sarcomas with specific chromosomal translocation t (X; 18) (p11.2; q11.2). We report the case of a 65-year-old man with no medical conditions who presented to the emergency department with sudden severe right flank pain associated with haemodynamic instability and haemorrhagic shock. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a right renal mass. A right open radical nephrectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed a monophasic synovial sarcoma. The patient received six cycles of docetaxel and gemcitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy. No sign of recurrence was seen on a follow-up CT urogram. This rare tumour often presents atypically, and clear guidelines regarding appropriate treatment are lacking. Our case showed that treatment with docetaxel/gemcitabine after an open radical nephrectomy is promising.
