Unusual sonographic appearance of synovial sarcoma of the anterior abdominal wall.
We report a case of synovial sarcoma in a 58-year-old woman arising from the anterior abdominal wall. Sonography demonstrated a large mass with an unusual complex "honeycomb" echotexture. Doppler imaging displayed increased vascularity in the solid parts of the tumor.
