Synovial sarcoma is common in the extremities. Our search revealed only 17 cases of synovial sarcoma of the larynx in the English-language literature.
We report an additional case of a 37-year-old man with primary laryngeal synovial sarcoma who underwent positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) following the treatment. Although the patient received comprehensive therapy including surgery, radiotherapy, repeated chemotherapies, and targeted therapies, he had an unfavourable outcome and died of distant metastases.
In synovial sarcoma of the larynx, PET/CT can detect recurrence and metastasis. PET/CT can also predict the treatment effect in patients with synovial sarcoma.
滑膜肉瘤常见于四肢。我们的检索仅在英文文献中发现了 17 例喉滑膜肉瘤。
我们报告了另一个 37 岁男性原发性喉滑膜肉瘤的病例,该患者在治疗后进行了正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)。尽管患者接受了包括手术、放疗、反复化疗和靶向治疗在内的综合治疗,但他的预后不佳,死于远处转移。
在喉滑膜肉瘤中,PET/CT 可以检测复发和转移。PET/CT 还可以预测滑膜肉瘤患者的治疗效果。
