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.
