There have been very few cases reported in the literature thus far. With the identification of the characteristic and diagnostic chromosomal abnormality t(X;18), this may become an increasingly recognized entity. Our report adds to the limited publ...

Synovial sarcoma is malignant mesenchymal fuso-cellular tumor with variable epithelial differentiation. We present the rare case of young female patient with primary synovial sarcoma of the liver. Molecular diagnosis was done by detection of SYT/SSX fusion transcript. Patients with sarcoma should be treated only in high specialized centres.Key words: synovial sarcoma of the liver.
