Synovial haemangioma is a rare but important cause of knee symptoms, which, when undiagnosed, can lead to significant morbidity. Diagnosis is frequently difficult and delayed. We report on a case of synovial haemangioma, which demonstrates the difficulties inherent in diagnosis and the morbidity associated with diagnostic delay, in a young woman. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful tool for diagnosis, but detection on MRI can also be problematic, as shown by this case, demonstrating the need for greater awareness of this condition by both clinicians and radiologists. Arthroscopy is important in both the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions.

The present study was a retrospective single-center study. A total of 81 patients diagnosed with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma were included who received pazopanib therapy. Clinical data, including age at diagnosis, histological subtype, treatments received before pazopanib, number of metastatic sites at the time of initiation of treatment, progression-free survival and overall survival time under pazopanib treatment, side effects and response evaluation in follow-up imaging after initiation of pazopanib therapy, were recorded.

Synovial haemangioma is a rare benign entity, most common in children and adolescents. These tumours can extensively infiltrate joint structures and periarticular soft tissues, making management challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a key role in diagnosis and therapeutic planning.

Purpose: Survival of patients with metastatic sarcoma remains poor, and there is a pressing need for new therapies. Most sarcoma subtypes are not responsive to immune checkpoint inhibition alone. Lenvatinib, a multireceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting tumor vasculature, has an immunomodulatory activity that contributes to its antitumor effects.

Article Synopsis
- Synovial hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular malformation in the knee that can be easily misdiagnosed due to vague symptoms.
- A 7-year-old boy experienced chronic knee pain and swelling for over 3 years before imaging revealed the condition, leading to successful surgical treatment.
- Early diagnosis and en-bloc excision of synovial hemangioma are crucial to avoid recurrence and ensure positive outcomes in patients.
