Key result
Biphasic synovial sarcoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall is a rare presentation in the head and neck region that is often misdiagnosed due to its varied histopathologic features.
Highlights the clinical and pathologic features of a rare biphasic synovial sarcoma in the posterior pharyngeal wall to aid in avoiding misdiagnosis.
May warrant inclusion in differentials for pharyngeal masses; leaves open multicenter data on optimal management.
Synovial sarcoma is not common in the head and neck region. Because its histopathologic features are many and varied, it is often misdiagnosed. We report a case of biphasic synovial sarcoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall, and we discuss the clinical and pathologic features of this case.
