Synovial sarcomas are rare malignant soft tissue tumors with significant metastatic potential. Although they can occur in various parts of the body, they are most commonly found on the extremities. These tumors typically develop in children and young adults, making occurrences in individuals over 50 years of age unusual. Due to their slow-growing and nonpainful nature, synovial sarcomas can often be mistaken for benign pathologies. The standard treatment involves complete surgical excision with negative margins, which offers a favorable 5-year prognosis. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention in managing soft tissue sarcomas. In this case report, we present a 57-year-old African male with a 2-year history of gradual, nonpainful swelling on his left hand, diagnosed as synovial sarcoma. The patient was successfully treated with complete surgical excision.
滑膜肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性软组织肿瘤，具有显著的转移潜能。尽管它们可发生于身体的各个部位，但最常见于四肢。这些肿瘤通常在儿童和年轻人中发生，50岁以上个体出现这种肿瘤的情况并不常见。由于其生长缓慢且无痛的特性，滑膜肉瘤常常会被误诊为良性病变。标准治疗方法是进行切缘阴性的完整手术切除，其5年预后良好。本病例强调了早期识别和干预在软组织肉瘤治疗中的重要性。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名57岁的非洲男性，他左手逐渐出现无痛性肿胀已有2年，被诊断为滑膜肉瘤。该患者通过完整手术切除获得了成功治疗。
