Core Tip

Core tip: Synovial sarcomas are found mainly in the joints and tendons of the extremities, but rarely in the kidneys, and they are most common in children and young adults. Here, we report the imaging findings (notably contrast-enhanced ultrasound), histopathologic immunohistochemistry, and treatment of a case of primary renal synovial sarcoma. The purpose of this report is to help readers further understand this disease.
