Abstract

The authors present the case of an elderly man with a primary dural-based intracranial synovial sarcoma. Histological and immunohistochemical profiles of the lesion were diagnostic for a synovial sarcoma, and molecular studies using fluorescence in situ hybridization were compatible with a synovial sarcoma. A wide array of spindle cell neoplasms has been described as originating in the dura. To the authors' knowledge, however, this is only the second primary dura-based intracranial synovial sarcoma ever reported, emphasizing the importance of abroad differential diagnosis when encountering spindle cell lesions of the meninges.
