Abstract: Introduction: Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant soft-tissue tumor that commonly arises in the extremities and may present as a slowly growing mass.
Case Report: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a synovial sarcoma of the posterior thigh presenting with pain radiating along the sciatic nerve. The patient underwent limb-sparing surgical excision, revealing a high-grade monophasic synovial sarcoma with close margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered following multidisciplinary discussion. At 2-year follow-up, there was no evidence of local recurrence, and functional outcome was satisfactory.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of individualized, multidisciplinary management of synovial sarcoma, balancing oncologic control with functional preservation, particularly in the setting of close surgical margins.
