Περίληψη:
Synovial sarcoma is a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, divided
histologically into 3 types: Monophasic, biphasic and poorly
differentiated. An extremely rare case of obstructive ileus due to
monophasic synovial sarcoma in a 54-year-old male patient is reported in
the present study. The patient presented to the emergency department
with signs and symptoms of obstructive ileus. Computer Tomography (CT)
scan showed a pelvic mass (20x17x12 cm) causing obstruction at the
sigmoid colon. An exploratory laparotomy through a midline incision was
performed. The described mass was unresectable as it was infiltrating
major vessels. Therefore, a diverting loop descending colostomy and
biopsy of the solid mass were performed. Pathological examination
revealed a monophasic synovial sarcoma. The patient was referred to the
Department of Oncology and started treatment with doxorubicin and
ifosfamide.
