title: Primary cardiac synovial sarcoma.
abstract: Primary cardiac synovial sarcoma is an extremely rare entity. The clinical and pathologic characteristics are still poorly understood, and prognostic factors influencing overall survival are still unknown. In the present study, all characteristics of reported patients, including sex, age, clinical presentations, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, imaging findings, pathology, location, therapy, and follow-up were carefully reviewed and survival analysis was performed. The present study has summarized some key features and may provide an effective consultation for the diagnosis and treatment of the tumor.
