Synovial Sarcoma

Primary Synovial Sarcoma of the Breast Initially Mimicking Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans: A Case Report. (PubMed, Eur J Breast Health)
Surgical margins were negative, and one-year follow-up showed that the patient remained disease-free. This case highlights the importance of immunohistochemistry and molecular testing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Primary cardiac synovial sarcoma presenting with right heart failure and superior vena cava syndrome: a multimodal case report. (PubMed, Int J Surg Case Rep)
Early diagnosis, surgical resection, and adjuvant therapy can lead to significant symptomatic relief and may improve survival. This case highlights the value of integrating molecular diagnostics into the routine evaluation of rare cardiac tumors.

Small Round Cell Tumors of Soft Tissue and Skeleton in Children and Youth: A Narrative and TruSight-Based Illustrative Review of Diagnostic Cases. (PubMed, Adv Anat Pathol)
Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in interpreting a specific diagnosis or narrowing the differential diagnosis of SRCTs. Molecular genetic investigations are essential, particularly in cases exhibiting atypical or overlapping histologic and immunohistological features.

Fulminant growth of primary pericardial synovial sarcoma despite partial resection: a case report. (PubMed, Eur Heart J Case Rep)
She received one cycle of anthracycline-ifosfamide chemotherapy but developed airway compromise and died on hospital day 34. This case illustrates the rapid progression and poor prognosis of primary pericardial synovial sarcoma, emphasizing that early recognition with multimodality imaging and timely surgical evaluation are crucial, as unresectable disease carries poor outcomes with current systemic therapies.

Cooperative roles of class IA PI3K isoforms in translocation-related sarcoma cell survival and proliferation. (PubMed, Cancer Res Commun)
These findings suggest that PI3Kα is the dominant isoform, whereas PI3Kβ and PI3Kδ cooperate with PI3Kα in cell survival, which appears to be a characteristic feature of TRS cells. Thus, triple-isoform inhibition might represent an effective therapy for TRSs.

Pleural-Based GLI1-Altered Mesenchymal Tumor With ACTB-GLI1 Fusion: A Rare Pulmonary Entity Mimicking Synovial Sarcoma. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
She remains disease-free at 1-year follow-up. This case expands the anatomic spectrum of GLI1-altered tumors and underscores the value of molecular testing in distinguishing them from other pleural neoplasms.

Mapping genomic heterogeneity in paediatric and adolescent-young adult sarcomas: insights from the Italian SAR-GEN2016 and SAR-GEN_ITA prospective multicenter trials. (PubMed, Cancer Res Commun)
All findings were classified as ESCAT Tier IIorIII. Our findings support the value of integrating genomic and clinical data to accelerate translational research in rare tumours.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Children/Adolescents and Young Adults Versus Adult Synovial Sarcomas Reveals Age-Related Molecular Features. (PubMed, Pediatr Blood Cancer)
This study reveals age-related molecular and tumor microenvironment differences in SS that may contribute to disparities in clinical outcomes. These findings underscore the need for further studies to validate these results and to support the development of age-tailored therapeutic strategies.

Gastric Synovial Sarcoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature. (PubMed, Int J Surg Pathol)
Thus, although rare, synovial sarcoma occurs in the stomach and hence it should be included in the list of differential diagnoses of spindle cell sarcomas affecting stomach. A review of literature with treatment implications are discussed herewith.

Myoepithelial tumor with EWSR1-PBX3 fusion and rearrangement in rib and soft tissue: a rare case report. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The presence of EWSR1-PBX3 fusion and rearrangement in METs of bone and soft tissue is diagnostically significant. It is critical that molecular testing should be performed by clinicians, notably when distinguishing it from synovial sarcoma and other closely related entities.

MicroRNA-625-3p Increases Chemosensitivity in Ovarian Cancer Cells Through Decreasing SSX2IP-Mediated Cisplatin Export in Extracellular Vesicles. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
These findings provide a new paradigm for intrinsic cisplatin resistance acquisition by HGSC cells, which will be crucial for developing new treatment strategies for ovarian cancer based on the upregulation of miR-625-3p or downregulation of SSX2IP to enhance cisplatin sensitivity and improve patient survival rates.
