Recurrent primary intracranial synovial sarcoma, a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Abstract Synovial sarcoma (SS) occurs in various parts of the body, predominantly in the extremities. It also occurs in organs without synovial structures. The intracranial disease has been reported as metastasis, but primary intracranial SS has been reported rarely. We report a patient with hemiplegia and a mass on the brain CT. Pathology showed SS with no extracranial pathology.
