Sarcomas are rare tumors account for about 1% of cancers in adult. Soft tissue sarcomas are the most common one. Synovial sarcoma's incident is about 10% of all sarcomas and most commonly rise from para-articular regions in young adults. Based on our knowledge there have been only two reports of thyroid synovial sarcoma in medical literature. We report a 44-year old woman presented with a rapid growing neck mass. The pathology report revealed sarcoma and the immunohistochemistry (IHC) was compatible with synovial sarcoma. It could be understood that synovial sarcoma can be found in various tissues even if there is no synovial cells.
肉瘤是罕见肿瘤，约占成人癌症的1%。软组织肉瘤是最常见的一种。滑膜肉瘤的发病率约占所有肉瘤的10%，最常见于年轻成人的关节旁区域。据我们所知，医学文献中仅有两例甲状腺滑膜肉瘤的报道。我们报告一例44岁女性，表现为颈部肿块迅速增大。病理报告显示为肉瘤，免疫组织化学（IHC）结果与滑膜肉瘤相符。可以理解的是，即使没有滑膜细胞，滑膜肉瘤也可在各种组织中发现。
