ABSTRACT = {We present a case report of a 17-year-old patient with a large renal mass that was detected on a computed tomography scan during investigation for secondary hypertension. Radical nephrectomy was performed, and the morphologic and immunocytochemical findings were compatible with a diagnosis of monophasic synovial sarcoma of the kidney. A cytogenetic search for t(X;18) translocation was performed, which was negative. The patient underwent an ifosfamide-based chemotherapy regimen. During follow-up, a positron emission tomography scan showed increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose metabolism at the right femur. Although cancer cells were expected in the biopsy specimen, only fibrous dysplasia of the bone was found. The patient was disease-free at his 29-month follow-up check-up.},
