Abstract:
Synovial sarcoma is comparatively uncommon and highly malignant tumor, which usually arises in proximity to a joint and may affect the adjacent bones. Occurence in finger and severe bony involvement are rare. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the thumb, because the tumor arose in an unusual site and was characterized by severe bony destruction.
