Synovial sarcoma is a malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin with an aggressive character and a rare cervicofacial location. Its management is multidisciplinary in order to improve prognosis and survival.
We report the case of two rare and synchronous localizations of monophasic synovial sarcoma of the maxilla and chest wall in a 58-year-old woman, whose management was based on exclusive chemotherapy.
The cervicofacial location of synovial sarcoma represents 3% of all locations in the body. Its clinical and radiological manifestations are aspecific. Its diagnosis is based on a combination of histological and genetic arguments. Its therapeutic management depends on the tumour stage and prognostic factors.
Early diagnosis of cervicofacial synovial sarcoma allows to avoid a mutilating procedure for the patient and to improve the long-term prognosis by a good control of the tumour.
滑膜肉瘤是一种间叶源性恶性肿瘤,具有侵袭性,且在头颈部较为罕见。其治疗需要多学科协作以改善预后和提高生存率。
我们报告了一名58岁女性患者,上颌骨和胸壁出现罕见的单相滑膜肉瘤同步局部病变,其治疗仅采用了化疗。
滑膜肉瘤在头颈部的发病占全身发病部位的3%。其临床和影像学表现不具特异性。诊断基于组织学和遗传学证据的结合。其治疗方案取决于肿瘤分期和预后因素。
头颈部滑膜肉瘤的早期诊断有助于避免患者接受致残性手术,并通过良好的肿瘤控制改善长期预后。
