Synovial sarcoma is a malignancy not usually encountered in the head and neck region. We describe a case of synovial sarcoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall in a 14-year-old girl. The mass was completely excised via the transoral route. Postoperatively, the patient received irradiation to 60 Gy. At 40 months of follow-up, the patient remains disease-free.

Histopathologic Features

Synovial sarcoma is not common in the head and neck region. Because its histopathologic features are many and varied, it is often misdiagnosed. We report a case of biphasic synovial sarcoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall, and we discuss the clinical and pathologic features of this case.

Abstract BACKGROUND. Synovial sarcomas of the soft tissue are a particular type of sarcomas that rarely appear in the head and neck region. CASE REPORT AND COMMENTS. We present the case of a 27-year-old patient diagnosed in 2017 with soft palate biphasic synovial sarcoma who presented with recurrent microepistaxis, nasal obstruction, left cephalalgia and aural fullness in the left ear. The clinical examination showed a tumor with approximately 4/6 cm in diameter, covered with sero-sanguinolent secretions, pulsating in nature, completely obstructing the left choana. The surgical treatment consisted of complete removal of the tumor under endoscopic guidance with electrocauterization of the insertion area, without further postoperative radiotherapy. The histopathological aspect was suggestive for pleomorphic sarcoma, poorly differentiated, confirming the local recurrence of the tumor. The patient also presented lung metastasis from undifferentiated malignant tumor. CONCLUSION. The particularity of this case is represented by the extremely rare occurrence of synovial sarcoma in the head and neck region, especially at the level of the soft palate. Complete resection of the tumor with negative margins represent the mainstay of treatment, associated with adjuvant radiotherapy, with an important role in improving disease-specific survival.

Histological Features

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant neoplasm that arises from primitive pluripotential mesenchymal cells . It is a high-grade histological variety of sarcoma and it accounts for 7-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Head and neck locations represent only 0.7% to 10% of all cases. Primary parapharyngeal synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is rare representing only 0.5% of all tumors of the head and neck region. We describe through a clinical case the clinical, radiological and histological features of PPSS and we discuss its therapeutic management.

ABSTRACT Introduction Epidermoid cyst is a rare cyst in head and neck region. We report a case of epidermoid cyst of tongue presented in a girl child. Case report A female child presented with a swelling in her tongue. The swelling was excised completely. A diagnosis of epidermoid cyst of tongue was made. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. There was no recurrence after 6 months follow-up. Conclusion Epidermoid cyst of tongue is a rare tumor of tongue. Complete excision does not cause recurrence.

Abstract Background Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive soft tissue cancer of extremities mainly and rare in head and neck region, whereas rarest in ethmoidal sinus as only three cases have been reported till date. Case Reports We managed two cases of synovial sarcoma who presented with nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and swelling around the nasofacial region. Endoscopic nasal biopsy and immunohistochemistry markers confirmed synovial sarcoma in both the cases. While one case was managed by surgery and chemoradiation, the second patient received two cycles of ifosfamide-based chemotherapy and succumbed after 6 weeks of diagnosis. Conclusion Head and neck sarcomas are aggressive and carry a poor prognosis. Surgical resection with postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment. However, they have a high risk of recurrence and hence aggressive management and close follow-up is warranted for the optimal outcome.

Salivary gland neoplasms represent about 3% of head and neck tumors. The area most affected by tumors is parotid salivary gland (standing for about 80% of all cases). The most common type of the neoplasm is pleomorphic adenoma (which accounts for 80-90% of all diagnoses). One of the rare diagnoses in this region comprises synovial sarcoma, as it mainly occurs in lower extremities. In head and neck region it accounts for about 3% of all diagnoses. About 20 cases have been described in this region, so far. The etiology of the disease remains unknown, but there are reports linking synovial sarcoma with the rearrangement in the gene responsible for chromosomal transcription t(X;18) (p11,q11).

Abstract Background Concomitant cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are rare in the head and neck region. In our search of the English language literature, we found only one case report describing the simultaneous occurrence of COD and ABC in the head and neck region. Here, we report a case of COD associated with ABC. Further, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify studies on patients with COD associated with nonepithelial lined cysts of the jaws. Case presentation The patient was a 32-year-old woman who was referred from a private dental clinic because of a cystic lesion below the mandibular right first molar. She had no pain or significant systemic disease. After performing panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, the imaging diagnosis was COD with a cystic lesion, such as ABC or solitary bone cyst. Excisional biopsy was performed, which revealed concomitant COD and ABC. Conclusion This case of ABC associated with COD provides insight for the diagnostic process of radiographically mixed lesions with cystic changes.

Ossifying fibromas form a part of the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. They are rare, benign, nonaggressive tumors that are commonly seen in head and neck region. This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old female patient presented with minimal clinical symptoms, diagnosed to be suffering from aggressive form of ossifying fibroma of maxilla involving the maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus. This paper emphasizes the importance of computed tomography in diagnosing such unapparent aggressive tumors.

<p class="abstract">Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor with a thirteen percent incidence in head and neck region. Posterior triangle is the most common location while anterior neck lipoma is a rare one. Giant lipomas &gt;10 cm have been reported in different parts of the body but rarely in the anterior neck. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We here report a case of giant anterior neck lipoma in a 50 year old male managed surgically.</p>
