Synovial sarcoma comprises 8-10% of all sarcomas and most commonly affects adults in the third-to-fifth decades of life. The malignancy most commonly involves the extremities, especially the lower extremities around the knees. Synovial sarcoma frequently is misdiagnosed as benign often because of its small size, slow growth, and well-defined appearance.
