Abstract

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumour arising from the primitive mesenchymal cells which has a delayed progression has a slow progression and often mis-diagnosed. A fifty-two years old female presented with complaint of swelling, pain and inability to move her left knee for three years duration. Presented with recurrence for which Wide excision of the tumour, with reconstruction of knee using custom mega-prosthesis and extensor mechanism reconstruction was done. Patient had a good functional outcome and no recurrence.
