Abstract

Primary synovial sarcoma of the prostate is an uncommon malignant tumor. There are few cases reported in the English medical literature to date. Here, we present a case of 22-year-old man with primary synovial sarcoma of the prostate metastatic to the liver and lung. To our knowledge, only six reports of synovial sarcoma involving the prostate have been previously published. We also reviewed the previous treatments and prognoses in previous case reports and evaluate the proper treatment for this disease.
