“…Synovial sarcoma (SS) is the fourth most common variety of sarcoma after malignant fibrous histiocytoma, liposarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma [12,13]. Synovial sarcoma classically affects patients between the ages of 15 and 40 years [14], and the proportion of male-tofemale patients is 3:2 [15] Poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma grows rapidly with infiltrative margins, showing haemorrhage and necrosis. It is considered as a form of progression, with a more aggressive behavior and a higher percentage of metastases [10].…”

Abstract:Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor which arises from a mesenchymal precursor stem cell that is unrelated to mature synovial tissue. Synovial sarcoma mostly affects extremities usually lower limbs between the ages of 15 and 40 years and the proportion of male-to-female patients is 3:2. It is very rare in the head and neck region especially in laryngopharynx. Till date, only six cases of synovial sarcoma involving laryngopharynx have been reported in the literature. Painless mass, hoarseness, upper respiratory distress, and dysphagia characterize the original complaints in laryngopharyngeal synovial sarcoma. Because head and neck synovial sarcoma in clinical practice is so uncommon, early diagnosis is difficult and the treatment protocol is unclear. The authors report two rare cases of synovial sarcoma of head and neck. First case was synovial sarcoma of larynx was treated by complete excision via the laryngofissure approach followed by radiotherapy. There has been no recurrence after 2 years of the complete excision and serial punch biopsies have come out to be negative. The second case is synovial sarcoma of the parotid treated by radiotherapy.

“…These tumors have been encountered in other areas of the head and neck as well, including prevertebral and parapharyngeal areas, pharyngeal, laryngeal, nasopharynx, soft palate, tongue, maxillofacial region, mandible corner, sternoclavicular region, scapular region and the cervical oesophagus [5]. Synovial sarcoma classically affects patients between the ages of 15 and 40 years [6], and the proportion of male-to-female patients is 3:2 [7]. Patients with synovial sarcoma of the head and neck tend to be younger than those who have such tumors in the extremities [5,12].…”

“…Reports in the literature have underscored the occurrence of this tumor in unusual sites, many seemingly distant from synovium-lined spaces, particularly, the abdominal wall [1] and head and neck region. The vast majority of this latter group, mostly case reports, were confined to the cervical and parapharyngeal region [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. In this article, we report a case of synovial sarcoma that originated in oropharynx which is extremely rare.…”
