Abstract
Introduction
Synovial Sarcoma is a rare malignancy that accounts between 8 and 10% of soft tissue neoplasms, with the highest presentation rate in extremities, an extremely uncommon condition in head and neck.
Clinical findings
We present a case of an 18-year-old male with synovial sarcoma situated at hypopharynx who underwent surgical resection and postoperative radiotherapy.
Conclusion
Synovial Sarcoma represents a rare head and neck malignancy with challenging diagnostic approach due to its frequency and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Surgical treatment must assure good free margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy has a positive impact in local recurrence and survival.
Sinovial Sarcoma it's a rare and challenging entity, early diagnosis is related with better outcomes.
On time adjuvant therapy needs to be done in order to improve oncologic outcomes.
Multidisciplinary approach it's related to good postoperative outcomes and extended overall survival.
