Aggressive Fibromatosis of the Head and Neck: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Synovial sarcoma (SS) represents about 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is believed that its origin would be found in cells that are related neither to ultrastructural nor to histological features of the synovial tissue. Head and neck is very rarely affected, with the lower extremities being most frequent. Complete resection with or without radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently considered the best available therapy. This time we present the case of a patient with SS located in the infratemporal fossa, its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. According to our knowledge it is the first reported case in South America.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon spindle cell neoplasms generally associated with serosal surfaces, especially the pleura. Recently, these tumors have been documented in a number of extrapleural sites including the head and neck. So far only two cases of parapharyngeal solitary fibrous tumor have been reported in the English literature. Rare location of an uncommon lesion often gives rise to difficulty in diagnosis or to misdiagnosis. In both the previously reported cases, as well as in our case, the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor was not made until the excised tumor was subjected to histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

Rare Benign Tumour

Objectives: To describe the features of an oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal myxoma.Materials and methods: Case report of a 34-year-old patient operated upon for a dual-location tumour, and review of the literature.Results: The myxoma is a rare tumour. Various head and neck locations have been described, but not (to our knowledge) a tumour in both the oropharynx and the hypopharynx. Multiple synchronous locations must be searched for, particularly regarding cardiac myxoma.Conclusion: The myxoma is a rare, benign tumour, even rarer in the head and neck. Surgical treatment must be complete in order to avoid recurrences, and should be performed after assessment for cardiac involvement.
