Description: Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma defined by the presence of a unique translocation, t(X;18)(q11.2;p11.2). It usually occurs adjacent to joints in the limbs and was originally thought to arise from synovium.
However, synovial sarcoma is a misnomer and the origin of the tissue is unknown. Primary synovial sarcomas have been documented in most human tissues and organs, including the brain, prostate and heart. Synovial sarcoma occurs most commonly in adolescents and young adults.
