Synovial sarcoma is a relatively common periarticular soft tissue malignancy, occurring mostly in the extremities of younger patients. Occasionally, diversity in its clinical features may lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate management. The authors report herein a unique case of a patient who underwent a primary total knee arthroplasty to treat osteoarthritis. During the operation, a mass was discovered but was attributed to synovitis. Biopsy revealed a rare intra-articular synovial sarcoma. The patient underwent reoperation with wide excision and endoprosthesis placement and is disease-free at the 8-year follow-up.

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.
