Abstract

Synovial sarcoma is the fourth most common type of sarcoma. It is usually found in the knee or ankle joints, and is exceptional in the head and neck. Most cases are diagnosed in men between 20 and 40 years of age. Diagnosis is often casual due to the infrequent nature of this tumour and its non-specific clinical and radiological characteristics. Confirmation is therefore based on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy techniques.

We report a case of biphasic sinovial sarcoma located in the infratemporal fossa treated at our hospital and we make a review of the literature.

Keywords:
Synovial sarcoma
Infratemporal fossa
Mesenchymal tumours of head and neck
Resumen

El sarcoma sinovial representa el cuarto tipo de sarcoma más frecuente, situándose principalmente en las articulaciones de la rodilla y el tobillo, siendo excepcional la afectación de cabeza y cuello. Se da sobre todo en varones entre los 20 y 40 años. El diagnóstico suele ser inesperado por la rareza de la entidad y por las características inespecíficas clínico-radiológicas, basándose, por tanto, en técnicas inmunohistoquímicas y de microscopia electrónica.

Presentamos un caso de sarcoma sinovial bifásico, localizado en la fosa infratemporal, tratado en nuestro servicio, y revisamos la literatura.

Palabras clave:
Sarcoma sinovial
Fosa infratemporal
Tumores mesenquimales de cabeza y cuello
