Abstract
Synovial sarcomas are very uncommon and highly malignant tumours. This uncommon malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin may rarely present in the neck. Since 1954, nearly 80 cases of synovial sarcoma, located in the head and neck region have been reported. Synovial sarcoma is most prevelant in adolescents and young adults between 15 and 40 years of age. In this report we present a case of synovial sarcoma in the neck of a 10-year-old patient.
