ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the image characteristics of Synovial Sarcoma,and improve the diagnostic accuracy.
Methods:The clinical materials and image findings of synovial sacoma proved by pathology were retrospectively analyzed in 13 cases.
Results:1. Most synovial sarcomas located in close proximity to a joint,especially a large joint of lower limbs. 2. The mass diameter was usually more than 5cm,and most masses present moderate density,and some with calcification inside it on X-Ray films. 3. Most masses density was not homogeneous and slightly lower than that of the muscle on CT,the demarcation was clear or not. 4. On T2WI /STIR of MRI,most tumours presented slightly hyperintense “cobble”nodules,with hypointense septa among the nodules. After contrast,the nodules were unenhanced or enhanced slightly,the septa were markedly enhanced.
Conclusion:Some image finding’s features of synovial sarcoma,especially on MRI,are helpful for the diagnosis of it.
