May support modified radical neck dissection in rare cervical synovial sarcoma metastasis; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Modified radical neck dissection without postoperative treatment may be effective for cervical metastasis of head and neck synovial sarcoma.
Ishiki et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck with cervical metastasis (n=1). Modified radical neck dissection was evaluated on Recurrence or metastasis. Modified radical neck dissection successfully treated a 20-year-old man with cervical metastasis of head and neck synovial sarcoma, with no recurrence or metastasis at 2 years and 10 months.
