LOW RISK PEDIATRIC FOOT SYNOVIAL SARCOMA: PROLONGED OVERALL SURVIVAL WITH AN EXCLUSIVE SURGICAL APPROACH

Synovial sarcoma (SS) constitutes an aggressive tissue sarcoma that can affect all age groups but is frequently observed in children and adolescents. Although a multimodal strategy with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy tends to be the treatment of choice, adequate risk stratification has allowed to separate a low-risk group of SS, with long term survival with an exclusive surgical approach. We report a case of a pediatric patient with a low-risk foot SS, that achieved prolonged event free survival and overall survival with exclusive surgical treatment, minimizing long-term morbidity of chemo and radiotherapy.
