» Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that most commonly presents in the extremity in a periarticular location.» As the history and physical examination of patients with synovial sarcoma can overlap considerably with those of patients with non-oncologic orthopedic conditions, it is important that orthopedic surgeons maintain a high level of suspicion when caring for patients with extremity masses.» Soft tissue sarcomas are best treated using a team approach. Early recognition and referral to a multidisciplinary sarcoma team are crucial to ensure the best clinical outcome for the patient.
