title: Intraneural synovial sarcoma.
abstract: This report describes and discusses the clinical, MRI, and pathologic findings in a case of synovial sarcoma arising within a peripheral nerve. Intraneural origin of synovial sarcoma is very unusual, and the MR imaging appearance of this condition has not been previously reported. MR imaging was valuable, as it showed the intraneural location and extent of the tumor, but it did not allow a specific histologic diagnosis.
