Abstract
•
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an extremely rare head and neck malignancy in the pediatric population.
•
Preoperative diagnosis of SS is challenging because of its nonspecific symptomatology, low clinical morbidity at presentation, lack of specific radiologic features, and physicians unfamiliarity.
•
We present this case to emphasize the correlation between histopathology diagnosis and clinical judgment to perform optimal treatment (surgical, chemo and/or radiotherapy) with preservation of pharyngeo-laryngeal function in the pediatric population.
