Intravascular Synovial Sarcoma of the Femoral Vein: A Case Report

A case of intravascular biphasic synovial sarcoma arising from the wall of the femoral vein in a -41-year old man is being reported. The patient presented with swelling and localized right leg pain. The diagnosis was made intraoperative. The tumor was resected and vascular reconstruction was performed. For post-operative radiation therapy & chemotherapy, the patient was referred to the oncologist. This is the very rare case of an intravascular synovial sarcoma known to be reported in the medical literature. Few previous cases arose from highlights about the characteristic clinical pattern and the location in large veins of the lower extremity and trunk. Primary synovial sarcoma of a blood vessel is extremely rare, and this report shares the clinical presentation and treatment of this patient. Synovial sarcoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of intravascular tumors.
