Abstract

Soft tissue sarcoma of the hand is rare, with synovial sarcoma being among the most common pathological diagnoses. As postoperative radiation therapy for synovial sarcoma, a 22-year-old male patient was treated with a total dose of 60 Gy, administered in 30 daily fractions. This report reviews the clinical outcome of the patient treated at our institution and discusses the appropriate treatment strategies for synovial sarcoma of the hand.
