[Morphological variability of synovial sarcoma in childhood].
We report on an unusual locally recurrent plantar soft tissue sarcoma in a 7-years-old boy. Due to an unusual morphology a clear diagnosis was initially not possible. The histologically different recurrent tumor was classified as synovial sarcoma by means of immunohistochemistry, ultrastructural and molecular analysis. This case demonstrates the variable morphological appearance of synovial sarcoma and the value of modern diagnostic procedures in such circumstances.
