Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant tumor comprising 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. SS has distinct characteristics, such as a predilection for young adults and relatively slow growth compared to other soft tissue sarcomas. Some patients with SS experience long-standing pain at the tumor site before the development of a palpable mass. Herein, we report the case of a 39-year-old woman with SS in the upper arm who presented with pain for > 20 years. The tumor detected on magnetic resonance imaging at 17 years was an SS. To the best of our knowledge, no English-language reports on imaging study-based identification of SS, which was undiagnosed for > 20 years, are known in the literature. This report discusses the imaging features of this latent lesion and the volume-doubling time of this unusual tumor.
期刊介绍：
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
