Abstract :
Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is a rare and aggressive sarcoma that usually occurs around the knee
joint; it rarely involves the hand. Joint involvement by SS is extremely rare. We report a case
of wrist intraarticular SS presenting with chronic wrist pain. The patient underwent surgical
excision alongside with local radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After 24 months of follow up,
there was no recurrence or metastasis. Intraarticular SS should be in a differential diagnosis list
of chronic wrist pain even though it is extremely rare.
