Popis: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a soft tissue tumor that occurs among a group of tumors other than rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in childhood and adolescence in 4 % of cases. In terms of incidence among children, SS is second only to RMS and most often occurs in young and mature patients (15–35 years), with a slight predominance in men. The localization of SS in the soft tissues of the extremities reaches 80 %; to a lesser extent, these tumors occur in the head and neck, trunk, retroperitoneal space, and joints (no more than 5 %). Cases of the appearance of SS in the mediastinum, peripheral nerves, skin and visceral organs are also described.This article presents a rare clinical case of the development of SS of the median nerve of the right shoulder in a 15-year-old patient.
