A RARE CASE OF SYNOVIAL SARCOMA OF TONSIL

Synovial sarcoma rarely occurs in the head and neck region(3-5) . Literature reveals that primary tonsillar Synovial Sarcoma has previously been documented only in three patients (1-6) .It has generally been regarded as a high grade sarcoma. Recent analysis of clinical, morphological, and molecular characteristics of Synovial Sarcoma, however, identified low and high risk group of patients, resulting in important implications for the treatment of patients diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma. In all of these patients the tumor was histologically biphasic.
