Abstract

Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignity of mesenchymal origin; the diagnostic approach usually begins by documenting a soft tissue tumor; however, it results in a challenging diagnosis when it is more profound, of small size, or primary from the bone.

The present report describes a patient who presented insidious onset hip pain attributed to rheumatoid arthritis, with a fatal outcome due to baseline disease and surgery complications.

The underestimation of hip pain, mainly when there is no palpable mass, may delay the diagnosis.

Keywords

arthritis, rheumatoid - sarcoma, synovial - soft tissue neoplasms

Study carried out at the Hospital de Especialidades Dr. Antonio Fraga Mouret, Centro Médico Nacional La Raza del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Mexico City, Mexico.
