Preferred Label : synovioma;
Definition : A malignant neoplasm arising from tenosynovial tissue of the joints and in synovial
cells of tendons and bursae. The legs are the most common site, but the tumor can
occur in the abdominal wall and other trunk muscles. There are two recognized types:
the monophasic (characterized by sheaths of monotonous spindle cells) and the biphasic
(characterized by slit-like spaces or clefts within the tumor, lined by cuboidal or
tall columnar epithelial cells). These sarcomas occur most commonly in the second
and fourth decades of life. (From Dorland, 27th ed; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles
