Abstract: | A 7-year-old Holstein cow developed a large cystic mass in the region between the atlantoaxis and larynx. The mass extended to the synovium in the atlanto-occipital joint. Many villous projections were present on the inner surface of the tumor tissue, and irregular clefts were formed in the inside. Two cell types, epithelioid-like synovioblasts and spindle cells, were present. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the cells stained positively for cytokeratin (AE1/AE3) and vimentin. Both cells had similar fine structures ultra-structurally. Vacuoles present in the cytoplasm were full of an acid mucous substance. The tumor was diagnosed as a well-differentiated biphasic synovial sarcoma. This is the first report of a rare case of synovial sarcoma, from the viewpoint of its origin. |
