Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated survival outcomes by primary tumor site in synovial sarcoma (SS) patients with localized and metastatic disease at diagnosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 504 SS patients diagnosed from 1974 to 2020. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox-proportional hazards regression were used. RESULTS Among 504 patients, 401 (79.6%) presented with localized disease, and 103 (20.4%) with metastases. For patients with localized disease, (1) 5-year OS by tumor site was as follows: 80% (95% CI, 67%-89%) for head/neck, 30% (95% CI, 18%-42%) for intrathoracic, 51% (95% CI, 35%-65%) for abdomen/pelvis, 71% (95% CI, 62%-79%) for proximal-extremity, and 83% (71%, 91%) for distal-extremity. (2) On multivariable analysis, tumor site (compared with proximal-extremity: intrathoracic tumors [HR: 1.95; 95% CI, 1.22-3.16]; hand/foot [HR: 0.52; 95% CI, 0.28-0.97]), tumor size (compared with <5 cm, 5-10 cm [HR: 1.80; 95% CI, 1.14-2.85]; ≥10 cm [HR: 4.37; 95% CI, 2.69-7.11]), and use of neo/adjuvant radiation (HR: 0.54; 95% CI, 0.37-0.79) remained significantly associated with OS. For patients with metastatic disease, (1) 5-year OS was 12% (95% CI, 6%-21%) and (2) the only factor that remained significantly associated with OS on multivariable analysis was surgical resection for the primary tumor (HR: 0.14; 95% CI, 0.08-0.26). CONCLUSIONS The primary tumor location plays a significant role in predicting outcomes for patients with localized SS. Even though patients present with metastatic disease, surgical resection of the primary tumor improves their survival. These findings are critical for patient counseling and designing a personalized treatment plan that reflects the corresponding outcomes.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma, a rare malignant neoplasm with a poor prognosis, accounts for approximately 5%-10% of all primary soft-tissue malignancies worldwide. Typically affecting adolescents and young adults, it primarily manifests near the joints of the lower extremities. This study aimed to demonstrate that this tumor can also affect the prevertebral space. A 32-year-old male patient presented at our outpatient clinic with a 2-month history of upper limb numbness and a 1-month complaint of palpable neck mass. Imaging studies revealed a bulky, lobulated, and heterogeneous mass exhibiting heterogeneous enhancement. Furthermore, the mass caused expansion of the neuroforamen in the neck, initially suggesting a diagnosis of malignant schwannoma. However, a histopathologic examination suggested synovial sarcoma. The article provided a comprehensive review of the clinical, pathological, and radiological features of this condition. Additionally, it explored current treatment options and prognoses by referencing relevant literature.

Abstract
Delivering cancer therapeutics to tumors necessitates their escape from the surrounding blood vessels. Tumor vasculatures are not always sufficiently leaky. Herein, we engineer therapeutically competent leakage of therapeutics from tumor vasculature with gold nanoparticles capable of inducing endothelial leakiness (NanoEL). These NanoEL gold nanoparticles activated the loss of endothelial adherens junctions without any perceivable toxicity to the endothelial cells. Microscopically, through real time live animal intravital imaging, we show that NanoEL particles induced leakiness in the tumor vessels walls and improved infiltration into the interstitial space within the tumor. In both primary tumor and secondary micrometastases animal models, we show that pretreatment of tumor vasculature with NanoEL particles before therapeutics administration could completely regress the cancer. Engineering tumoral vasculature leakiness represents a new paradigm in our approach towards increasing tumoral accessibility of anti-cancer therapeutics instead of further increasing their anti-cancer lethality.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare malignant tumor with bidirectional differentiation potential in epithelial and mesenchymal tissues and is a more chemosensitive subtype of soft tissue sarcoma. It occurs around the synovial soft tissues of large joints of the extremities and rarely in the nasopharynx. We present a young man with recurrent left-sided nasal congestion with nosebleeds, confirmed by immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic examination as SS. SS is easily misdiagnosed, and the tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis, with surgery combined with radiotherapy as the primary treatment option.

Abstract
The pathology of non-squamous carcinoma of the larynx is broad and there is a wide differential diagnosis. The most common presenting symptoms for laryngeal malignancies, both squamous and non-squamous, are hoarseness and dyspnea. Presentation with persistent or worsening symptoms and a submucosal lesion should raise suspicion for a non-squamous malignancy of the larynx. Accurate histology determines the most appropriate treatment and has an impact on prognosis.

Abstract
This case report describes a 22-year-old man with a pharyngeal foreign body sensation arising from the left side of the postpharyngeal wall. Histological examination showed a biphasic pattern of epithelioid and spindle cells including glandular differentiation. The tumour was positive for vimentin and SS18-SSX, and the spindle cells were positive for bcl-2; in contrast, the epithelioid tumour cells were positive for pan-cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and CD99. There was no INI-loss in tumour cells. Then, the presence of the SYT-SSX gene fusion was demonstrated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. In addition, androgen receptor gene somatic mutations were detected by next-generation sequencing. However, 6 months postoperatively, the patient had neither developed a recurrence nor received adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Accurate diagnosis depends on morphological and immunohistochemical examination and a proper molecular analysis, and novel technologies can detect a wide variety of genetic alterations. Although androgen receptor somatic mutations cannot provide addition treatment at present, surgical resection with a clean margin and follow-up is an appropriate approach.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma that occurs predominantly in older children and young adults in their thirties. It is usually very challenging to diagnose and treat synovial sarcoma in the head and neck region. The purpose of this review is to investigate the clinical manifestations and different treatment methods in the management of primary synovial sarcoma of the head and neck. HNSS has an aggressive nature and poor prognosis. Surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are the primary treatment methods. Typically, surgical resection with negative margins remains the foundation of therapy, which is not very easily achieved in the head and neck due to its complex anatomical structure and the presence of many blood vessels and nerves. However, synovial sarcoma has a high recurrence rate, so aggressive management and close follow-up are warranted for the optimal outcome.

Abstract
Affibody molecules are small non-immunoglobulin affinity proteins, which can precisely target to some cancer cells with specific overexpressed molecular signatures. However, the relatively short in vivo half-life of them seriously limited their application in drug targeted delivery for cancer therapy. Here an amphiphilic affibody-drug conjugate is self-assembled into nanomicelles to prolong circulation time for targeted cancer therapy. As an example of the concept, the nanoagent was prepared through molecular self-assembly of the amphiphilic conjugate of ZHER2:342-Cys with auristatin E derivate, where the affibody used is capable of binding to the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Such a nanodrug not only increased the blood circulation time, but also enhanced the tumor targeting capacity (abundant affibody arms on the nanoagent surface) and the drug accumulation in tumor. As a result, this affibody-based nanoagent showed excellent antitumor activity in vivo to HER2-positive ovary and breast tumor models, which nearly eradicated both small solid tumors (about 100 mm3) and large established tumors (exceed 500 mm3). The relative tumor proliferation inhibition ratio reaches 99.8% for both models.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor that mainly occurs in body extremities, being uncommon in the head and neck region. In the present study, we described a case of primary intraosseous SS arising in the mandible of a 22-year-old young male. The patient reported a painful swelling on the left side of the mandible for the last 7 months. Imaging exams showed the presence of an expansive and multilocular radiolucent lesion, extending from the left condyle to the mandibular body. The clinic diagnostic hypotheses were ameloblastoma or malignant neoplasm. Histologically, the lesion was characterized by a proliferation of spindle cells exhibiting vesicular nuclei and evident nucleolus. Neoplastic cells were positive for AE1/AE3, cytokeratin 7, vimentin, CD-99, and TLE-1 and negative for CD-34, S-100, SMA, and HHF-35. A combination of clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical characteristics supported the diagnosis of SS. The patient was referred for treatment, and preoperative exams did not reveal any other tumor foci in the body of the patient. The final diagnosis was of a primary intraosseous SS of the mandible.

Abstract
Leiomyosarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma that composed of malignant mesenchymal cells with distinct features of the smooth muscle lineage. Typically affects the uterus and gastrointestinal tract, it can rarely be seen in large blood vessels, lymphatic and glandular duts, the mesentery, the omentum, retroperitoneum, and limbs. Occurrence is particularly rare in the limb region. Retrospective study based on patient records and postoperative pathological histological features. Four patients with limb leiomyosarcoma that were operated between 2016 and 2020 were included, three of them arising in the subcutis of the thigh region and one in cubitus. Extend resection with satisfactory outcomes is reported. Pathological examination showed that masses were composed of a fascicular arrangement of hyperchromatic spindle-shaped cells, characterized by the proliferation of epithelioid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm for epithelioid leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcomas that arise in the soft tissue, although rare, should be differentiated from other lesions, such as neurilemoma, neurofibroma, liomyoma,lipomyoma, synoviosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiotoma, and malignant neurinoma.

Abstract
The biological barrier of solid tumors hinders deep penetration of nanomedicine, constraining anticancer treatment. Moreover, the inherent multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer tissues may further limit the efficacy of anti-tumor nanomedicine. We synthesized highly permeable, photothermal, injectable, and positively charged biodegradable nucleic acid hydrogel (DNA-gel) nanoparticles to deliver cancer drugs. The nanoparticles are derived from photothermal materials containing black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs). The intra-tumoral BPQDs improve the sensitivity of tumor cells to photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic treatment (PDT). Tumor cells take up the positively charged and controllable size DNA-gel nanoparticles, facilitating easy penetration and translocation of the particles across and within the cells. Mouse models demonstrated the anti-tumor activity of the DNA gel nanoparticles in vivo. In particular, the DNA gel nanoparticles enhanced clearance of both small and large tumor masses. Just 20 days after treatment, the tumor masses had been cleared. Compared to DOX chemotherapy alone, the DNA-gel treatment also significantly reduced drug resistance and improved the overall survival of mice with orthotopic breast tumors (83.3%, 78 d). Therefore, DNA gel nanoparticles are safe and efficient supplements for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR is an oncogene, that has been reported to be aberrantly expressed in multiple types of malignant tumor tissues. However, its expression and association with synovial sarcoma (SS) remains unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the expression level of HOTAIR in SS tissues and also identify its role. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of HOTAIR and microRNA (miR)-126 in 54 tissue samples from patients with SS, in 10 tissue samples from synovium tissues of normal patients, and in SW982 cells. The protein expression level was measured using western blot analysis and cellular immunofluorescence. Cellular proliferation, invasion and migration were assessed using MTT, Transwell and wound healing assays, respectively. HOTAIR was expressed at high levels in SS tissues. In contrast, miR-126 was expressed at low levels in SS tissues, and was negatively correlated with HOTAIR expression. HOTAIR knockdown in SW982 cells inhibited cellular proliferation in vitro, but also significantly increased the ratio of cells in the G1/G0 phase of the cell cycle, and decreased the ratio of cells in the G2/S phase. In addition, HOTAIR knockdown inhibited the invasion and migration of the SW982 cells, as observed in the Transwell and wound healing assays. Furthermore, HOTAIR knockdown increased miR-126 expression level and decreased the expression level of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) at the protein level. On the other hand, while miR-126-mimic decreased the protein expression level of SDF-1, miR-126-inhibitor increased its expression level in SW982 cells. Notably, HOTAIR knockdown or SDF-1 knockout significantly decreased the protein expression levels of CDK1, CDK2, cyclin D1, MMP-9, vimentin and N-cadherin, and significantly increased the protein expression levels of p21, p53 and E-cadherin in SW982 cells. HOTAIR was highly expressed in SS tissues, wherein it could promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of SS cells by increasing the expression of SDF-1 via miR-126 inhibition.

Abstract
Head and neck synovial sarcoma is rare. We report the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with progressive dysphagia, odynophagia, shortness of breath on exertion and hoarseness of voice. Nasendoscopy revealed a smooth, non-fungating, non-ulcerative mass arising from the left lateral pharyngeal wall. CT showed a well-defined, heterogenous enhancing lesion arising from the left pyriform fossa. Initial biopsy taken was inconclusive and patient underwent a transcervical complete excision of the tumour, where histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of monophasic synovial sarcoma of the left pyriform fossa. This patient also received adjuvant radiotherapy postoperatively and remained disease free 1 year after completion of treatment.

Abstract
Background Laryngeal sarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of larynx and usually reported as case reports or small series. At present, there is no research based on big data about the prognostic factors affecting laryngeal sarcoma. Our study aimed to investigate the prognostic survival factors of laryngeal sarcoma and develop a comprehensive nomogram for predicting the survival of laryngeal sarcoma. Methods Data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to find patients diagnosed with laryngeal sarcoma from 1998 to 2016. The data were obtained using SEER Stat 8.3.5 software, collated, and analyzed by Excel 2016 software and SPSS (v25.0). Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. The variables obtained by univariate analysis were introduced into the Cox proportional hazard model for multivariate analysis. The risk factors affecting the prognosis of laryngeal sarcoma were obtained (P<0.05 indicated statistical significance). The independent prognostic factors of laryngeal sarcoma were integrated and used to construct a nomogram. Results A total of 381 patients with laryngeal sarcoma were included. The median age of diagnosis was 67 years. The proportion of patients who had received surgical treatment was 62.73%, while 22.31% of patients had received no surgery. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 87%, 76%, 61%, and 45%, respectively. The median survival time was 102.35 months. Univariate analysis showed that increased age, primary site, pathology, pathological grade, and surgical treatment were significantly correlated with patient survival time and were risk factors for the patients' prognosis. Race, gender, and even lymph node metastasis were not significantly correlated with patient prognosis. The risk factors obtained from the univariate analysis were incorporated into the Cox risk model for multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors for prognosis of patients were: age (HR 1.569, 95% CI: 1.358–1.813, P<0.005), pathology (HR 0.834, 95% CI: 0.734–0.948, P<0.005), pathological grade (HR 1.433, 95% CI: 1.164–1.764, P<0.001), surgical treatment (HR 0.778, 95% CI: 0.696–0.870, P<0.000), primary site was excluded (P=0.092). We included all the risk factors from the multi-factor analysis to construct a nomogram, and the C-index value was 0.73, indicating that it was well-calibrated in the medium and long term. Conclusions Laryngeal sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of the larynx, which most often affects people between the ages of 50 and 79 and males. Our study shows that age, pathology, pathological grade, surgical treatment may be the risk factors for patients’ prognosis. Based on this, we constructed a nomogram model with a prediction accuracy of 73% that could help clinicians make decisions on an individual basis.

Abstract
Background Head and neck Synovial sarcoma (SS) accounts for 3–10% of all total body SS. It is rare to find it in the oral cavity, especially on the floor of the mouth. Case presentation We present a 44-year-old Chinese male, who had been misdiagnosed as fibroadenoma, with a swelling on the right submandibular region for more than 3 months. The radiology examinations and the pathology results indicate the diagnosis of SS of the floor of the mouth. The patient only had a surgical operation, without radiotherapy and chemotherapy. At the first follow-up, the patient exhibited no clinical or radiographic complications, and the patient was asymptomatic on subsequent visits. Conclusions Misdiagnosis results the delay of diagnosis and treatment of SS. Immunohistological analysis might be the most important tool to confirm the diagnosis of SS.

Abstract
A cystic mass that rapidly increases in volume in a dangerous anatomical region, notably the supraclavicular region, which contains important neurovascular elements, must be considered at high risk. A vascular study is mandatory before biopsy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be a treatment option in high-risk synovial sarcoma.

Abstract
A tumour microenvironment imposes barriers to the passive diffusion of molecules, which renders tumour penetration an unresolved obstacle to an effective anticancer drug delivery. Here, we present a γ-glutamyl transpeptidase-responsive camptothecin-polymer conjugate that actively infiltrates throughout the tumour tissue through transcytosis. When the conjugate passes on the luminal endothelial cells of the tumour blood vessels or extravasates into the tumour interstitium, the overexpressed γ-glutamyl transpeptidase on the cell membrane cleaves the γ-glutamyl moieties of the conjugate to generate positively charged primary amines. The resulting cationic conjugate undergoes caveolae-mediated endocytosis and transcytosis, which enables transendothelial and transcellular transport and a relatively uniform distribution throughout the tumour. The conjugate showed a potent antitumour activity in mouse models that led to the eradication of small solid tumours (~100 mm3) and regression of large established tumours with clinically relevant sizes (~500 mm3), and significantly extended the survival of orthotopic pancreatic tumour-bearing mice compared to that with the first-line chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine.

Abstract
Primary laryngeal synovial sarcoma is an extremely rare tumor predominantly affecting young adults. There are currently no well-defined guidelines to direct investigation and management, and treatment is largely based on what is known for synovial sarcoma of the upper and lower limbs. This PROSPERO-registered study aims to review the diagnostic methods, treatment regimens, and survival outcomes for patients with synovial sarcoma of the larynx. A systematic search of databases Medline, Embase, SCOPUS, and Web of Science was undertaken in December 2017. The literature search identified 1031 potentially relevant studies, and after the deletion of duplicates and excluded papers, 98 full-text articles were screened. A total of 39 cases were reviewed from 32 studies in the data extraction. The average age at the time of laryngeal synovial sarcoma diagnosis was 32 years (range, 11-79 years). In all cases (n = 39), patients underwent wide surgical excision, with 20 patients requiring a partial or total laryngectomy. A total of 18 patients received adjuvant and 3 received neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Chemotherapy was used in 10 cases, with ifosfamide the most frequently used agent. There was considerable variability in the order and combinations of the abovementioned treatments. No clinicopathologic factors or treatment regimens were associated with improved overall survival or lower rate of recurrence. There is a paucity of literature and heterogeneity in clinical approaches to this highly aggressive sarcoma. Reporting of cases must be standardized and formal guidelines must be established to guide clinical management.

Abstract
This paper presents an extremely rare case of synovial sarcoma arising from the maxillary sinus, which resulted in a clinically complete response to chemotherapy. Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignant tumor, most commonly affecting the extremities. While ~10% occur in the head and neck region, synovial sarcoma of the sinonasal tract is extremely rare, with only 11 cases having been reported previously. As with other sarcomas, the standard treatment is complete resection while allowing for a safe margin, but this is often difficult in the head and neck area due to the complicated anatomy there. This makes the treatment of head and neck sarcoma challenging and leads to the need for a multimodal approach in advanced cases. However, the exact efficacy of chemotherapy is not well understood. In this report, we present a case of unresectable maxillary sinus synovial sarcoma that was successfully treated by chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. A 53-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with a history of left nose obstruction over the previous couple of years. Computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor arising from the maxillary sinus that extended to adjacent tissues. A biopsy was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as synovial sarcoma. Since the tumor was unresectable, neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered. The response was excellent, and the tumor became undetectable under endoscopy and radiological imaging. This provided us with a clinical evaluation of “complete response”. The treatment was concluded with definitive radiotherapy and two more cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient remains free of disease 12 months after treatment. Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck is a rare entity; complete resection is the treatment of choice but (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy can be considered in unresectable cases, as we show here in the present case.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Synovial cell sarcoma of the head and neck (SCSHN) is a rare tumor associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The literature regarding these tumors is limited to case series and case reports. We used data from the population-based US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registry to determine factors affecting both overall survival and disease-specific survival of patients with SCSHN. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinicopathologic and therapeutic factors determining survival in patients with SCSHN. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The SEER registry was reviewed for patients with primary SCSHN from January 1, 1973, to January 1, 2011. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival. RESULTS A total of 167 cases of SCSHN were identified. The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 37.9 (17.3) years, and 100 (59.9%) of the patients were males. The monophasic spindle cell and biphasic variants were the most common histologic subtypes. Surgical resection and radiotherapy were performed in 150 (89.8%) and 108 (64.7%) of the cases, respectively. The median OS at 2, 5, and 10 years was 77%, 66%, and 53%, respectively. Univariate Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that age, race, and tumor stage and size were associated with improved survival. Histologic subtype was not associated with significant differences in survival. Radiotherapy was associated with improved disease-specific survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.29 [95% CI, 0.12-0.68]; P = .003), but surgical management was not associated with improved survival (HR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.19-1.46]; P = .21). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that size greater than 5 cm (adjusted HR, 3.60 [95% CI, 1.43-9.08]; P = .007) and stage at presentation (adjusted HR, 3.86 [95% CI, 2.01-7.44]; P < .001) were independent determinants of OS. In separate analysis of cohorts with tumors 5 cm or less and larger than 5 cm, stage at presentation was found to be a significant indicator of the probability of survival in both cohorts (adjusted HR, 3.10 [95% CI, 1.46-6.60]; P = .003 and 5.32 [95% CI, 1.49-18.98]; P = .01, respectively); surgical resection and radiotherapy were not associated with differential survival outcomes using this model. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Synovial cell sarcoma of the head and neck is rare. Independent significant determinants of survival include size (>5 cm) and stage at presentation. Histologic subtype of the tumor is not a significant indicator of the probability of survival. Surgical resection and radiotherapy were not independent determinants of survival.

Synovial Sarcoma of the Head and Neck: A Single Institution Review. Sarcoma 2017; 2017:2016752. [PMID: 28655993 PMCID: PMC5474548 DOI: 10.1155/2017/2016752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2017] [Revised: 04/17/2017] [Accepted: 05/08/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The prognosis and clinical characteristics of head and neck synovial sarcomas (HNSS) are unclear. Herein, we present an update using a cohort of patients treated at our institution. Methods We performed a retrospective chart review of 44 patients diagnosed with primary HNSS between March 1990 and June 2012. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) curves were estimated and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated. Results The entire cohort's median PFS was 4.6 years, and 20 of the 44 (45%) patients developed either local or distant recurrence. Tumor size ≥ 5 cm (p = 0.008, HR = 4.69; 95% CI = 1.34–16.38) and a primary presentation in the soft tissues of the neck (p = 0.04, HR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.003–5.82) were associated with significantly worse PFS. The OS and PFS of patients who received definitive local therapy versus those who received additional adjuvant systemic therapy did not differ significantly. Conclusion Despite the treatment challenges associated with HNSS, our cohort of patients had a better prognosis than one might expect in this unfavorable anatomical location. Our findings suggest that tumor size and site are predictive of PFS and that wide surgical excision is of vital importance, since traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy has limited efficacy at this site.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine clinicopathologic factors on survival in patients with head and neck synovial sarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with molecularly confirmed synovial sarcomas of the head and neck (SS-HN), either by the presence of SS18-SSX fusion transcript by RT-PCR or SS18 gene rearrangement by FISH, who were managed at our institution over a 20-year period (1996-2015). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test were performed to evaluate variables related to disease specific survival (DSS). Fisher exact test was performed to evaluate variables related to local recurrence. RESULTS Thirty-four patients (20 males and 14 females, mean of 31years) with SS18-SSX fusion-positive SS-HN were identified. The parapharyngeal region of the neck was the most common site. The mean tumor size was 4.8cm (0.8-10cm). Two-thirds (n=23) of cases had a monophasic histology. The 2, 5 and 10-year DSS rates were 97%, 79% and 68%. The 5-year DSS rates for the adult/pediatric cohort were 74%/88%. Recurrence showed significant effect on DSS (p=0.021). There was no significant effect on DSS with age, therapy modality, tumor site, surgical margin, tumor size (⩽5cm vs. >5cm) and histopathologic subtype. Tumor site (i.e. skull base/paranasal sinus region) was associated with local recurrence (p=0.003). CONCLUSION In our cohort DSS rate was associated with recurrence. Tumors located in the skull base/paranasal sinus region were associated with a higher rate of local recurrence. Thus appropriate selection of high risk patients who can benefit from multimodality therapies might improve survival.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an extremely rare head and neck malignancy in the pediatric population. Preoperative diagnosis of SS is challenging because of its nonspecific symptomatology, low clinical morbidity at presentation, lack of specific radiologic features, and physicians unfamiliarity. We present this case to emphasize the correlation between histopathology diagnosis and clinical judgment to perform optimal treatment (surgical, chemo and/or radiotherapy) with preservation of pharyngeo-laryngeal function in the pediatric population.
Introduction Synovial sarcoma (SS) is uncommon high grade soft tissue sarcoma, accounting for less than 10% of all head and neck sarcomas. Also, about 10% of SS occur within the Head & Neck. In the pediatric population, SS is an extremely rare head & neck malignancy. Presentation of case We present a case of sixteen years old boy diagnosed with SS situated of the hypopharynx treated by surgical excision and post operative radio-chemotherapy. Discussion This anatomical location brings additional functional challenges (swallowing, phonation, respiration), especially in the pediatric population. Pre-operative and even post-operative histopathological diagnosis of SS remains difficult. Optimal treatment of Head & Neck SS has to balance functional and oncologic aspects. Conclusion SS is an extremely rare head & neck malignancy in pediatric population. It has multifaceted challenges including pre and post-operative histopathological diagnosis and optimal modality of treatment. Clinical judgment, especially in the pediatric population, needs to balance tumor free margins and organ preservation in head and neck region.

Abstract
Synovial sarcoma comprises approximately 10 % of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although synovial sarcoma has been reported in practically every organ, the extremities are the commonest site of occurrence followed by the head and neck. Primary synovial sarcoma of the pharynx is rare and only case reports have been published. We report a series of five cases of primary synovial sarcoma involving the pharynx.
