title: Radiological features of synovial cell sarcoma.
abstract: Synovial cell sarcoma is an uncommon soft-tissue malignant tumour. These tumours have common radiological features with a variety of both benign and malignant lesions. However, there is a variety of imaging findings that can suggest a pre-biopsy diagnosis of synovial cell sarcoma. This pictorial review aims to describe the imaging features of synovial sarcoma in a series of cases with various age ranges and tumour locations. In addition, the pathology, staging, prognosis and management of synovial sarcoma is briefly discussed.
