Synovial sarcoma arising from the hypopharynx: a case report.

چکیده
Synovial sarcoma is a relatively rare soft tissue tumor. About 3 to 10% of cases arise in the head and neck, with the majority in the parapharyngeal region. We hereby report a 22-year-old male patient with synovial sarcoma confined to the hypopharynx. Treatment included wide surgical excision followed by radiotherapy. It is of interest that the lesion recurred 12 years after the initial primary surgery for synovial sarcoma at the same site. The patient has been disease-free for five years.
