Case ReportsRecurrent Synovial Sarcoma with Breast and Pulmonary Nodule: A Case Report.
Synovial sarcoma is a mesenchymal tumour with partial epithelial differentiation. About 85-90% of SS occur in the extremities. We present a case of a 44-year-old woman diagnosed with recurrent synovial sarcoma with breast and pulmonary nodules. The primary treatment for synovial sarcoma is wide surgical excision, while chemotherapy is reserved for metastatic cases. In the first-line metastatic setting, combination treatment with adriamycin and ifosfamide is administered. Despite the unfavourable prognosis, the patient's extended survival is fortunately not the typical outcome. ⋯ case reports; chemotherapy; immunohistochemistry; synovial sarcoma.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Semitendinosus Tendon Autograft among Paramilitary Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Surgery in a Tertiary Care Centre.
In orthopaedic practice, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligaments occur almost on an epidemic scale, yet it continues to be of interest in orthopaedic surgery whether semitendinosus or gracilis hamstring autografts can be used for better anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon autografts among paramilitary patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery in a tertiary care centre. ⋯ anterior cruciate ligament; grafts; semitendinosus tendon.
