Abstract
CASE Three cases of atypical metatarsalgia are presented, all diagnosed with foot synovial sarcomas (SSs) at different stages of evolution, after a year of medical consultations. One case was treated with marginal excision without requiring bone excision; the second patient required amputation of the first ray; and the third patient, with advanced disease, required amputation through Chopart's joint. CONCLUSION Metatarsalgia is a recurrent reason for consultation in orthopaedics. Even so, patients with persistent symptoms should be studied further in depth. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging can detect tumor pathology, such as SS, of insidious development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Synovial sarcomas (SS) arising in distal extremities are rare and have been studied using mostly case reports and small series. We aimed to evaluate clinical presentation and survival outcomes for patients with hand or foot SS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 84 patients diagnosed with primary hand (n=20) and foot (n=64) SS between 1979 and 2019. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free survival and metastasis-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Cox-proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the hazard ratios. RESULTS Of 84 patients, 63 (75%) presented with localized disease with 36 years median age at diagnosis (range: 4 to 76) and 21 (25%) with metastasis with 30 years median age at diagnosis (range: 15 to 64). Among patients presenting with localized disease, (1) 5 years-PFS, OS, local recurrence-free survival, and metastasis-free survival rates were 82%, 88%, 100%, and 86%, respectively. (2) Tumor size <3.0 cm corresponded to 95% 5 years-PFS (vs. 84% for 3.0 to 4.9 cm, 53% for ≥5.0 cm; P=0.007) and 100% 5 years-OS (vs. 77% for ≥3.0 cm; P=0.04). (3) Patients with ≥5.0 cm (vs. <3.0 cm) tumor size had 7.99 (95% confidence interval: 1.68, 37.91) times higher hazard of progression. Remarkably, patients presenting with metastasis had 50% 5 years-OS rate. Also, younger age (15 to 39 vs. 40 y and above) predicted better OS among patients presenting with localized disease (P=0.04) and with metastasis (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Survival outcomes are favorable for younger patients with <3.0 cm hand or foot SS. Local control is excellent, but we observed larger tumor size to be associated with poorer outcomes. Therefore, we recommend consideration of systemic therapy for patients with ≥3.0 cm hand or foot SS.

Abstract
A calcification mass was incidentally found in the soft tissue of a patient who had a history of trauma to the extremity during examination. The patient had no symptom. The pathological analysis of the mass revealed it was an early-phase synovial sarcoma (SS). The diagnosis was made before the onset of symptoms and proper surgical intervention was performed. Therefore, in case of a <1 cm lesion clinically suspicious of myositis ossificans, SS should be taken into consideration as a possible diagnosis.

Abstract
Mycetoma, also commonly referred to as Madura foot, is statistically rare in the United States. However, it is endemic to other parts of the world. It is a pseudotumor characterized by a triad of tumefaction, draining sinuses, and grains. Two types exist, with each caused by different groups of organisms that require different treatment approaches. Therefore, the exact diagnosis and culture of the organism is vital to successful treatment outcomes. Synovial sarcoma, in contrast, is a malignancy much more commonly seen in the United States. It is characterized by a well-circumscribed, often palpable, mass that is usually well delineated on magnetic resonance imaging. It has characteristic histologic and genetic features that help distinguish it from other soft tissue masses. We present a case of a soft tissue mass diagnosed in the United States. The patient had several clinical and radiographic features of synovial sarcoma but the histologic outcome was mycetoma. The case is followed by a review of the published data.

Abstract
We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with synovial sarcoma who presented with neural symptoms in the medial aspect of the right foot and ankle. The radiographic appearance of the foot and ankle was unremarkable, but magnetic resonance imaging showed a relatively well-defined enhancing lesion in the plantar soft tissues extending from the master knot of Henry to the posterior tibialis tendon. After orthopedic oncologic evaluation and workup, the patient was ultimately treated with a transtibial amputation, and no evidence of recurrence or metastatic disease was seen at 6-month follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of all adults patients as having synovial sarcoma in the Hospital Xeral-Calde (Lugo) between 2002 and 2006. PATIENTS AND METHOD We conducted a retrospective study of the case records of all adults patients diagnosed with synovial sarcoma from January 2002 through December 2006. Patients were considered to be adults if they were more than 18. In all cases a tissue-biopsy sample showing synovial sarcoma was required. The Hospital Xeral-Calde is the only referral center for a population of almost 250.000 people. RESULTS Four cases (3 women) met the classification criteria for this study. The mean age was 35 years old (range, 22-41). The most common presentation was a palpable mass (mean 6.7cm.) associated with pain in lower extremities. The mean delay for the diagnosis was 17 months, but in one case has been noted as long as 2.5 years. Unlike the neck synovial sarcoma case, a long delay in the diagnosis implied a major tumor size and a higher histologic grade. The mean follow-up was 25.5 months; one patient died 1.5 years after the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS The overall annual incidence rate of synovial sarcoma in the Lugo region between January 2002 and 2006 for the population older than 18 years was a minimum estimate 0.32/10(5). Better physician awareness may contribute to the progressive increase in the recognition of this condition, especially in young people presenting with palpable mass. A long delay at the diagnosis implied a poor prognosis.
