Abstract
Urogenital synovial sarcoma is an exceedingly rare lesion that can be clini cally confused with chronic inflammatory masses and granulomas, squamous ce ll carcinoma, malignant melanoma or metastatic tumours. We present a case o f primary synovial sarcoma of the penis in a 29-year-old Egyptian male. Thi s case report is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report in the med ical literature. A review of other penile sarcomas is included with a descr iption and discussion of their pathological and clinical manifestations.
