title: Radiation-associated synovial sarcoma.
abstract: We describe a case of synovial sarcoma occurring in a 36 year-old woman, 8 years after radiation therapy for Hodgkin's disease. The tumor showed histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and molecular features diagnostic of synovial sarcoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a fully documented case of radiation associated synovial sarcoma.
