Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumour. Of all the malignant sarcomas, synovial sarcoma constitutes about 4-8%.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Aim: To highlight the importance of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma and discuss the various differential diagnosis.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Material and methods:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">We report a case of monophasic synovial sarcoma in a 42 year old female who presented with right gluteal mass. FNAC was reported as atypical epithelial neoplasm. Excision biopsy was done and was confirmed as synovial sarcoma by histology and immunohistochemistry.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">Conclusion: <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:&#10;&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">This case is presented to emphasize on the need of immunohistochemistry to differentiate monophasic synovial sarcoma from other similar lesions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
