Pathologic disruption of the distal biceps brachii tendon by synovial sarcoma.
This article illustrates the utility of musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging in providing contrast resolution of soft body tissues (i.e., biceps tendon) and pathologic processes (i.e., synovial sarcoma). The evaluation of biceps tendon injury and the diagnosis/staging of synovial sarcoma are best complemented by this most sensitive, non-invasive imaging method, particularly when combined as in this unique case.
