Abstract

A 35yr old female patient presented with a pulsatile swelling of right proximal tibia present for 2 years. There was a rapid increase in size and pain in the 6 weeks preceding presentation. Radiographs showed a lytic lesion of about 8cm x 8cm in the anteromedial aspect of the proximal tibia with MRI showing a highly vascular lesion. A needle biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Glomangioma. It was treated with marginal resection of the tumour and fibular grafting of the defect.

Abstract

Context: Synovial sarcoma is one of the commonly encountered spindle cell sarcomas of soft tissue. However, Biphasic synovial sarcoma (BSS) is a rare subtype of synovial sarcoma with limited literature on clinical profile, molecular characteristics and survival outcome.
Aims: We propose to describe the immuno – morphology, clinical features, molecular profile and outcome of patients with BSS.
Settings and Design: This retrospective study included 13 cases of BSS, 3.2% of all synovial sarcomas diagnosed over 10 years in our institute. The clinico-pathological features were studied in detail and immunohistochemistry for TLE-1, EMA, CD34, CD99 and S100 was done. Real time PCR and DNA sequencing for the common translocations (SYT-SSX1/ SYT-SSX2) were performed.
Statistical analysis used: Statistical Package for Social Services (SPSS) software Version 21.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).
Results: BSS was most commonly seen in young, the most common site being soft tissue of extremities (92.3%). 53.8% of patients presented at Enneking stage IIB. The FNCLCC grade varied between 2(46.2%) and 3(53.8%). All cases were positive for EMA and TLE-1; negative for CD34 and S100. Ten of the eleven (90.9%) patients tested had SYT-SSX1 translocation. Over a period of 8 to 46 months, 53.8% cases were alive and well with no evidence of disease; three had (30%) recurred, one (10%) had lung metastasis and one (10%) died.
Conclusions: BSS is most common in extremities. The immunohistochemical profile matches that of monophasic synovial sarcoma. FNCLCC grade is 2 to 3; however the grade does not correlate with clinical outcome. Most cases show SYT-SSX1 translocation. 53.8% cases were alive and well after a mean follow up of 20 months.
Keywords: Biphasic, follow-up, immunoprofile, SYT-SSX1, synovial sarcoma.
Keyword: Biphasic synovial sarcoma has the same immunoprofile as the monophasic subtype. All patients who tested positive had SYT-SSX1 translocation. More than 50% of patients were alive and well after 20 months.
