Abstract:
Synovial sarcoma is an uncommon, highly malignant soft tissue tumor usually arising from the synovial lining of a joint, bursa and tendon sheath. Occurence in muscle fascia is extremely rare. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the left calf muscle fascia, which was confirmed by microscopically sarcomatous growth of spindle cells and irregular small multiloculation. Above knee amputation was done.
