POSADA-TORRES, José Antonio et al. Synovial sarcoma of the hypopharynx. Resection and reconstruction with supraclavicular flap: case report. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2019, vol.18, suppl.1, pp.26-30. Epub 17-Oct-2022. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.m18000142.
Synovial sarcoma is a rare high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, and the cervical region is an uncommon location; this makes its prompt diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 21-year-old female patient with a monophasic synovial sarcoma arising from the hypopharynx with dyspnea and difficult swallowing. The diagnosis was supported on clinical, radiological, endoscopic studies, and surgery as well as inmmunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Complete resection was achieved, and a supraclavicular artery island flap was used for covering the defect; this is an emerging technique for head and neck oncologic reconstructions.
