Abstract

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an uncommon type of mesenchymal tumor that commonly involves the juxta-articular region, particularly around large joints like the knee. Although synovial sarcomas are usually high-grade tumors, this case highlights an instance of a low-grade variant with benign clinical features. A boy in late adolescence presented with persistent pain and progressive flexion contracture around the knee for four years. Imaging suggested a benign lesion; however, histopathology confirmed SS. Post-surgery, the patient received radiotherapy due to positive surgical margins. A year later, he exhibited a painless knee movement with a mild flexion deformity, showing no signs of recurrence. This report emphasizes the importance of molecular analysis and careful excision for low-grade SS, given the risk of recurrence despite benign appearances.
