Synovial sarcomas are infrequent malignant tumors occurring mostly in adolescents and young adults. The occurrence of synovial sarcoma in the hand-wrist area is rare (4 to 8.5% of all synovial sarcomas in different studies).
This report documents an uncommon case of synovial sarcoma occurring in the hand-wrist of a 69-year-old Caucasian woman. She was subsequently treated with surgical excision and radiotherapy without recurrence after follow up.
This paper aims to characterize the demographic, pathologic, and clinical features with a literature review. The present literature review confirms that hand-wrist synovial sarcomas are more frequent among males and subjects 10 to 40 years old. Most cases in this location are usually not larger than 5 cm in size. The five-year survival rate is higher than that reported in a previous review on hand synovial sarcomas, and this suggests an improved survival in recent decades.
滑膜肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，主要发生在青少年和年轻成年人中。在手腕区域发生滑膜肉瘤的情况较为罕见（不同研究中约占滑膜肉瘤的 4%至 8.5%）。
本报告记录了一例罕见的发生在 69 岁白人女性手腕的滑膜肉瘤病例。患者随后接受了手术切除和放疗，随访后未复发。
本文旨在通过文献回顾来描述其在人口统计学、病理学和临床特征方面的特征。目前的文献回顾证实，手腕滑膜肉瘤在男性和 10 至 40 岁的人群中更为常见。该部位的大多数病例通常不超过 5 厘米大小。五年生存率高于之前对手部滑膜肉瘤的综述报道，这表明近几十年来生存率有所提高。
