Activists say that at least 65 people, apparently shot in the head, have been found dead in a neighbourhood of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the men were found with their hands bound.
The death toll could rise as high as 80, it warned, in what it called a "new massacre".
It was not clear who carried out the killings.
The conflict in Syria, a revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, has lasted for almost two years.
Rebels have pushed into major cities such as Aleppo and Damascus and taken territory in the north and east, while government forces have bombarded rebel-held areas with artillery and air strikes.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has said that more than 700,000 Syrian refugees have fled to other countries in the region and aid workers are struggling to keep up with the exodus.
The number of refugees passed the 500,000 mark on 11 December, meaning more than 200,000 have fled the war-torn country in the past seven weeks.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes said: "We have seen an unrelenting flow of refugees across all borders. We are running double shifts to register people."
Jordan has 171,033 registered Syrian refugees, as well as 51,729 who await processing, many of who fled fighting around the southern Syrian town of Deraa this month.
Lebanon has 158,973 Syrian refugees, and 69,963 awaiting processing.
Turkey has 163,161 Syrian refugees in its 15 camps, while Iraq hosts 77,415, the UNHCR said.
There are 14,375 in Egypt and 5,417 registered across the rest of North Africa.
The UN warned yesterday that it would not be able to help millions of Syrians affected by the fighting without more money.
