Biphasic synovial sarcoma in the small intestinal mesentery

Cancer
T R HelliwellM J Hershman

Abstract

A 46-year-old man presented with recurrent anemia and polyarthralgia. Investigations revealed a mass in the ileal mesentery, which was resected. Results of routine histologic examination suggested a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma, a rare malignancy usually not reported at this site. Tissue was examined immunohistochemically, ultrastructurally, and by fluorescent in situ hybridization to confirm the diagnosis. Immunohistochemical studies revealed widespread labeling for cytokeratins and focal labeling for desmin and vimentin in the epithelial component, with labeling for epithelial membrane antigen in the epithelial and spindle-cell components. Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis showed the characteristic t(X;18) translocation of synovial sarcoma. This is a unique case of synovial sarcoma in the small intestinal mesentery. Immunohistochemical labeling confirmed the diagnosis, although, to the authors' knowledge, the pattern of desmin labeling has not been described previously. The clinical association with polyarthralgia, which resolved after removal of the neoplasm, also has not been described previously.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
