We report a rare case of a synovial sarcoma which occurred in the forearm. A 17-year-old woman complained of tenderness at the dorsal side of the forearm in 1985. In 1990, she recognized a painful tumor and underwent the excisional biopsy.
The diagnosis was the synovial sarcoma, and the wide excision, a complete en bloc removal of the extensor in the forearm, was carried out and free gracilis muscle transplantation was performed for the functional reconstruction of the extensor.
8 months after the operation, the range of motion of the wrist was 40° in palmarflexion and 50° in dorsiflexion. The power was roughly evaluated as 4 of MMT.
Now both recurrence and metastasis are not recognized.
