Synovial sarcoma presenting as an enlarging dermal tumor

Introduction: Synovial sarcomas are an aggressive type of sarcoma, constituting approximately 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. They are most common on the extremities with a mean age of 30 years at diagnosis. Although synovial sarcomas are typically localized at the time of diagnosis, they metastasize more frequently than other soft tissue sarcomas to the lungs, lymph nodes and bone.
