Abstract
Synovial sarcoma accounts for 14% of soft tissue sarcomas, generally occurs in the extremities, and is rare in the head and neck. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy seen for sleep apnea and dysphagia with orohypopharyngeal synovial sarcoma. He underwent preoperative chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, etoposide, and adriamycin. Because of his age, we selected preserved the voice, using a cervical incision. Neither recurrence nor metastasis has been seen in the 39 months (3 years and 3 months) of follow-up.
