Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Primary Renal Synovial Sarcoma

Abstract

Synovial sarcoma should be a diagnostic consideration particularly in a young adult with a malignant spindle cell neoplasm of the kidney. The list of differential diagnoses should include sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis, angiomyolipoma and monophasic or biphasic synovial sarcoma.
