Primitive synovial sarcoma of suboccipital region in child
Synovial sarcoma (SS) most commonly affects the lower limbs of males in the third to fifth decades of life, with masses of the head and neck accounting for 3–10% of all cases, mainly as a metastatic lesion. The lack of specific symptoms and radiological features in addition to the diversity of their...

description | Synovial sarcoma (SS) most commonly affects the lower limbs of males in the third to fifth decades of life, with masses of the head and neck accounting for 3–10% of all cases, mainly as a metastatic lesion. The lack of specific symptoms and radiological features in addition to the diversity of their microscopic aspects may cause confusion in the diagnosis; hence, knowledge of the unusual locations of SSs is very important. The immunohistochemistry, and more recently the cytogenetic studies, contribute to the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with a rare primary SS in the suboccipital region, which underwent complete surgical resection. |
