Turk Patoloji Derg. 2012;28(3):266-9. doi: 10.5146/tjpath.2012.01134.

Abstract

Synovial sarcoma may arise from different and unusual sites. Here a case of biphasic synovial sarcoma arising or invading the radial nerve in a 59-year-old female classically showing chromosomal reciprocal translocation (X; 18) is reported. The differential diagnosis from similar tumors is discussed.
