Synovioma Benign

In medicine, “benign synovioma” is a tumor of the membranes of the joint, or synovial tumor. The tumor is a lesion of the membrane that lines the joint cavity. It most often develops in older men and women - most often after the age of 50. However, it has been noted that among the cases of pathology, the majority are young people - under 30 years old, and those over 70. Although cases of this disease can also be found in children.

It is known that synoviomas never occur among young people, but with age they increase in number and distribution.

Synoviomas, commonly known as “liquid tumors”, are tumor formations that arise from the lining of the joint. Tightly connected joints are subject to pathology even in old age. But until we are very old, we still have diseases such as osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis of the hip joint). Much more common among them are the so-called synovial ones (hygromas).

Synoviomas are fluid formations. They are distinguished by loose tissue filled with a colorless transparent liquid. The place of origin determines tissue differentiation: tendon accumulations are most often found at the junction of muscles and bones; in serous accumulations, histological formations of soft and hard consistency are distinguished. Intermuscular anatomical masses are affected only in exceptional cases.
