Intraneural synovial sarcomas are extremely rare in the main nerve trunks of the upper limb. We report on a 16-year-old youth who presented with a painless mass on the flexor aspect of the wrist with the clinical appearance of a ganglion. At operation there was a tumour of the median nerve that was shown on histology to be an intraneural synovial sarcoma.

D013584 Sarcoma, Synovial A malignant neoplasm arising from tenosynovial tissue of the joints and in synovial cells of tendons and bursae. The legs are the most common site, but the tumor can occur in the abdominal wall and other trunk muscles. There are two recognized types: the monophasic (characterized by sheaths of monotonous spindle cells) and the biphasic (characterized by slit-like spaces or clefts within the tumor, lined by cuboidal or tall columnar epithelial cells). These sarcomas occur most commonly in the second and fourth decades of life.
