Abstract

The authors report an original case of tendosynovial sarcoma localizated in the side of the palm of the hand of an eight year old child. This tumor has two morphological forms. One is characteristic of undifferentiated synovialosarcoma, and the other of epitheloid sarcoma. The immuno-histochemical study confirms the diagnosis of undifferentiated synovialosarcoma. On the basis of this case and with reference to the literature, the authors suggest that epithelioid sarcoma and synovialosarcoma constitute the same entity.
