Description
Summary:Nonmetastatic hepatic dysfunction known as Stauffer's syndrome is a rare entity. It is commonly associated with clear cell carcinoma of kidney. Rarely it has been reported in cases of prostatic carcinoma, bronchogenic tumor and lymphoproliferative diseases. Stauffer s syndrome presents as elevated alkaline phosphatase, aminotransferases, and prolonged prothrombin time without jaundice. However a very rare variant of Stauffer's syndrome presenting with jaundice has been reported in few case reports of clear cell carcinoma of kidney. But such a presentation in cases of renal sarcomas has not been reported so far. Here we report a unique case of primary synovial sarcoma of kidney presenting as nonmetastatic cholestatic jaundice.
