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.
