ABSTRACT

Synovial sarcomas are rare tumors which most often present in the distal extremities of young adults and children. There are unique clinicopathologic features of this tumor which lend themselves to multidiscipli- nary treatment and translational research. We present a case of a primarily cystic synovial sarcoma and pro- vide a thorough review of the available literature.
