    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor that commonly emerges in the para-articular area, with the knee as the predominant location. The preferred intervention for this tumor is still currently debated 
Case description: We presented a 29-year-old male with a very large mass in the right knee. The physical examination revealed impairment of the right lower extremities, particularly the knee. MRI confirmed the extent of the pathology, but the first pathology analysis was inconclusive. A wide resection was performed without prior neoadjuvant therapy. The second pathology analysis from the resected tissue confirmed the diagnosis of biphasictype synovial sarcoma. The patient was able to walk with no assistance, had an increased range of motion, and the utmost preservation of the limb.
Conclusions: We presented a successful case of wide resection of synovial sarcoma with a promising clinical
outcome. The complexity of the case leads to the need for a tailored approach that should be limited to
musculoskeletal oncologists.</abstract>
