| Abstract | ||
| Tonsillar Synovial Sarcoma with Review of Literature Abstract Synovial sarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin which can develop at any location, with deep soft tissues of extremities being the commonest site involved, typically in young aged individuals, nevertheless it is uncommon in head and neck region and is enormously unusual in the tonsil. We represent a 30-year-old male with a right tonsillar mass who complained of difficulty in swallowing, odynophagia, right sided otalgia and sore throat for 6-months. The mass was excised and sent for histopathology and immunohistochemical studies that established the diagnosis of biphasic synovial sarcoma of the right tonsil. | ||
