ABSTRACT
Synovial sarcoma usually arises in the soft tissues of the extremities and rarely presents as a primary bone tumor. Here, we report a case of a 40 year old female who came with complaints of a swelling in her right knee associated with mild pain on walking. After getting operated, we received a 12cm x 13cm x 8cm grey white tissue mass. Histopathological examination showed spindle shaped tumour cells arranged in solid compact sheets, fascicles and herring bone pattern and the individual tumour cells were uniform, well oriented showing darkly stained nuclei along with scanty and indistinct cytoplasm suggestive of monophasic synovial sarcoma.
Key words: synovial, sarcoma, monophasic, herring.
