SSX (4/4 cases). Pancytokeratin and EMA immunohistochemistry were performed on 13 and 9 tumors, respectively, and each showed patchy-to-diffuse staining. By reverse-transcription PCR, 3 cases were positive for the SS18::SSX1, and 2 cases were positive for the SS18::SSX2 gene fusion. Six cases contained an SS18 gene rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and next-generation sequencing identified an SS18::SSX2 gene fusion in one case. Clinical follow-up information was available for 9 patients (4 months to 4.6 years; mean, 2.8 y; median: 29 months), and one patient had a recent diagnosis. Three patients died of disease within 41 to 72 months (mean, 56 months) of their diagnosis. Five patients were alive without evidence of disease 4 to 52 months (mean, 17.6 months) after surgery; of whom 1 of the patients received additional chemotherapy treatment after surgery because of recurrence of the disease. A single patient was alive with intraabdominal recurrence 13 months after surgery. We conclude that synovial sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract is an aggressive tumor, similar to its soft tissue counterpart, with adverse patient outcomes. It is important to distinguish it from morphologically similar gastrointestinal tract lesions that may have different treatment regimens and prognoses.
