“…Synovial sarcoma accounts for approximately 5−10% of connective tissue sarcomas 13 . It occurs most commonly in the 20−40 years age group, and is more common in men than women with a male : female ratio of approximately 3:2 14 . Approximately 60− 70% involve the lower extremity, where they usually arise in the vicinity of joints, bursae, tendons and fascial planes.…”

Synovial sarcoma is a relatively rare malignant soft tissue tumour. It is highly aggressive, tends to occur in young adults and has a poor prognosis. The scintigraphic findings in 10 patients with histopathologically proven synovial sarcoma were reviewed. Most of the lesions occurred in the extremities and intense uptake of thallium was observed on 30-min and 4-h imaging in almost all cases. Thallium has an important role in the detection of possible metastatic disease and in monitoring response to therapy. The scintigraphic features of synovial sarcoma are presented and correlated with the radiographic findings.
