Abstract

We evaluated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of synovial sarcomas in 22 patients, and the most common MRI findings were oval and well-defined nodular masses with heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity (SI) on T1 weighted images (WI), high SI on T2-WI and heterogeneous contrast enhancement. A cystic component was seen in 77%, intratumoral hemorrhage in 73%, and calcification in three monophasic sarcomas. Metastases were noted in lung (mostly biphasic type), lymph node, and bone. Posttreatment changes revealed diffusely increased S1 on T2-W1 and slightly diffuse contrast enhancement with feathery appearance. Morphology and MR signal characteristics assist in synovial sarcoma management.
