Background: tumors affect synovial tissue of the knee, they are presented independently in a very similar way of their histological type for what in occasions their precise diagnosis is very difficult. Development: a bibliographical review on benign and malignant tumors that affect synovial tissue of knee was carried out. The most important aspects in each tumor type were shown as general aspects, clinical presentation, diagnostic examination and treatment, beginning with the benign ones as the synovial hemangioma, lipoma arborescens, synovial chondromatosis, pigmented villonodular synovitis and we conclude with synovial sarcoma. Conclusions: the definitive treatment of these tumors depends on their histological type and opportune diagnostic.
