Abstract
Synovial sarcoma is a high-grade soft-tissue tumor that can be locally aggressive and metastatic. The variability of early symptoms and the rarity of synovial sarcoma can affect the patient's presentation and clinical diagnosis. This makes the disease very susceptible to late awareness and misdiagnosis. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy with a one-year history of gait abnormality and pain in the left foot, which was identified as synovial sarcoma following an excisional biopsy. This article aims to describe the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of this rare pathology in a pediatric context while discussing its diagnostic challenges and treatment options.
