We discuss a patient with an occult, densely calcified synovial sarcoma of the hip who came to clinical attention because of pulmonary metastases. When synovial sarcomas present with dense and conglomerate calcification, they may be confused with benign processes such as myositis ossificans or tumoral calcinosis. Malignancies such as extraskeletal osteogenic sarcoma, extraskeletal chondrosarcoma, and mesenchymal chondrosarcoma must also be considered in the differential diagnosis.
