title: [Synovial sarcoma in the head and neck with 3 case reports].
abstract: Synovial sarcoma in the head and neck with 3 cases are reported. Some clinical features and experiences of surgical excision are analysed according to our materials and review of the literature. We believe that the key to prevent synovial sarcoma from recurrence and matastasis is to avoid local excision, and pay more attention to this disease before operation. It is not sensitive to radiation therapy.
