  • Title: Synovial sarcoma: an unexpected ultrasound finding in a post-partum patient.
    Author: Acton CM, Morrison WA, Slavin JL.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 1996 Nov; 40(4):452-3. PubMed ID: 8996912.
    Abstract:
    A 20-year-old patient presented after an uneventful pregnancy and delivery with an asymptomatic soft-tissue mass behind her knee with the clinical features of a ganglion or Baker's cyst. An ultrasound scan demonstrated a well-defined but solid mass with prominent vascularity. The mass was noted to increase in size prior to surgery. The pathological diagnosis was that of a synovial sarcoma grade 2, a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm with a serious prognosis.
