Abstract
Introduction: Contrary to its name, synovial sarcoma does not arise from the synovial membrane but from multi-potent stem cells and
can present in any part of the body. Very few cases of vulval synovial sarcoma have been reported in the literature; we report on such
a presentation. Th ese tumors can present as painless lumps, which must be completely excised to give the best prognosis. Th erefore
the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma should always be kept in mind in the management of vulval masses, especially in young patients.
