Résumé
El sarcoma sinovial es un tumor maligno de partes blandas, bien diferenciado y que representa entre 5.6 por ciento a 10 por ciento de todos los sarcomas. Su localización en cabeza y cuello no es común, y representa cerca de un 9 por ciento, con menos de 100 casos reportados en la literatura. La localización intraoral es muy peculiar, existiendo 32 casos previamente descritos en el mundo, de los cuales 3 corresponden al tipo monofásico. Se presenta un caso de un paciente varón de 16 años con un caso de sarcoma sinovial intraoral monofásico y una revisión de la literatura disponible.
Synovial sarcoma is a well-differentiated malignant tumor of soft tissues, that corresponds approximately 10 percent of all soft tissue sarcomas. Its location in the head and neck uncommon and the location in the oral cavity is really peculiar, with only 32 previously described cases, of which only three corresponded to the monophasic type. We report a 16 years old male patient consulting for a lump in the right oral mucosa. The patient was operated in two occasions excising the tumor with radical lymph node dissection and parotid gland excision. The pathological diagnosis was a monophasic intraoral synovial sarcoma. Postoperative radiotherapy was recommended but not done. After 16 months of follow up the patient is without evidence of relapse.
