Four cases of malignant synovialoma (synonym: synovial sarcoma) of the sole of the foot are reported. A striking feature of all four cases was the long delay before the final diagnosis was made. Although this condition is rare, our cases nevertheless show that chronic neuralgiform pain close to the joint should prompt consideration of this tumor in the differential diagnosis. However, even surgical revision or explorations do not always reveal the tumor.
