Synovial sarcomas are a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcomas that are mostly located in the lower extremities.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of synovial sarcoma in the intrapelvic retroperitoneum causing venous thrombosis in an adolescent.
Consider rare sarcomas in adolescents with iliac thrombosis; leaves open optimal diagnostic pathways.
