Soft tissue tumoriform lesions tend to be relatively common with respect tothe number of examined knee joints, although their incidence in the populationis low. Due to the large area of the knee joint lined with synovial membrane,the most common lesions are synovial lesions. Recognizing common reactivesynovial processes from tumorous changes is crutial for differential diagnosisof the lesions. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging play a major role inthe imaging of "soft" knee lesions. Clinical examination and the possibilityof clinical-radiological correlation also play an unquestionable role indetermining the etiology of the lesion. In our work, we try to summarize thebasic pathological conditions and document them with case-specific findingsfrom our workplace.
