TI  - Synovial sarcoma: a rare presentation of parapharyngeal mass.
PG  - 631-3
AB  - Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck region 
      involving the parapharyngeal space. The diagnosis of synovial sarcoma can be very 
      challenging to the pathologists. We present a rare case of parapharyngeal 
      synovial sarcoma in a young female patient who had a two-month history of left 
      cervical intumescent mass at level II. The fine needle aspiration cytology of the 
      mass was proved inconclusive. Transcervical excision of the mass was performed 
      and the first case of parapharyngeal sarcoma was identified in our center by 
      fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. Repeat imaging revealed 
      residual tumor. The patient successfully underwent a second excision of the 
      residual tumor and received adjuvant radiotherapy.
