Synovial sarcoma is a rare cancer that is more commonly diagnosed in people under 40. It is a form of soft tissue sarcoma. Where is synovial sarcoma found?

The main sign of synovial sarcoma is a painful lump in the arm or leg. How is synovial sarcoma diagnosed? Doctors use imaging to detect synovial sarcoma. These tests typically include MRIs or CTs. The scans can show the size of the tumor, where it started, whether any nearby organs or tissues are involved and whether cancer has spread to other areas of the body.

That sample is checked under a microscope for cancer cells by a pathologist (a doctor who is specially trained to diagnose disease). It is very important to receive a diagnosis from a team of doctors that is highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.
