Abstract

A 17 year old Malay student who is a known case of synovial sarcoma of left elbow (treated with an above elbow amputation) presented with duodenal obstruction. We report an unusual case of gastrointestinal tract metastases from synovial sarcoma. To our knowledge, there is no previous such report in the literature. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features are described.
