Abstract
Synovial sarcoma unlike its name is not originating from synovial cells. It accounts for approximately 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas with main predilection for extremities.We present here a case of synovial sarcoma of subcutaneous origin of knee joint which is rarest of presentations and early diagnosis is associated with lower risk of metastasis and hence better prognosis.
