title: Intraneural synovial sarcoma of the median nerve.
abstract: Intraneural synovial sarcomas are extremely rare in the main nerve trunks of the upper limb. We report on a 16-year-old youth who presented with a painless mass on the flexor aspect of the wrist with the clinical appearance of a ganglion. At operation there was a tumour of the median nerve that was shown on histology to be an intraneural synovial sarcoma.
