Hind-Foot Synovial Sarcoma Treated With Wide Resection and Sural Fasciocutaneous Flap – A Case Report

Abstract

Synovial sarcoma comprises about 5% to 10% of soft tissue sarcomas. Initial growth is often slow and a small circumscribed tumour may misleadingly appear to a benign lesion by clinical examination and imaging, occurring in up to 50% of cases. The modalities of treatment of foot malignant conditions depend on histological diagnosis and staging. A radical surgical procedure in the distal region of the lower limb is often difficult due to a limited soft-tissue situation and can result in soft-tissue defects. Plastic surgical techniques remain particularly indispensable in the treatment of such distal tumors.
